Renaissance/Pieta

Michelangelo would bring the blocks down the side of the mountains. Very dangerous. 1499, he had other problems. Like his father. Sometimes he would go months without taking his boots off. He was living like Jesus, which is what he told his father to do. He was 25 years old when he was finished. He signed his name i the side of his art to get credit because nobody knew him and didn't know he did it. He was asked by the Pope to paint the 16th chapel. Raphael , painter, School of Athens. Frescoes paintings done on wet plaster. Favorite subject was Madonna and child. Worked for Pope Julius II. Donatello is best known for his statue of David.
