Michelangelo

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni(6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, and engineer. Michelangelo was born on 6 March 1475 in Caprese near Arezzo, Tuscany. For several generations, his family had been small-scale bankers in Florence. At thirteen, Michelangelo was apprenticed to the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio.When Michelangelo was only fourteen, his father persuaded Ghirlandaio to pay his apprentice as an artist, which was highly unusual at the time. When in 1489 Lorenzo de' Medici, de facto ruler of Florence, asked Ghirlandaio for his two best pupils, Ghirlandaio sent Michelangelo along with another student.From 1490 to 1492, Michelangelo attended the Humanist academy which the Medici had founded. Michelangelo studied sculpture under Bertoldo di Giovanni. At the academy, both Michelangelo's outlook and his art were subject to the influence of many of the most prominent philosophers and writers of the day including Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola and Poliziano.

In his personal lif as an adult, Michelangelo was abstemious. He told his apprentice, Ascanio Condivi: "However rich I may have been, I have always lived like a poor man."Condivi said he was indifferent to food and drink, eating "more out of necessity than of pleasure" and that he "often slept in his clothes and ... boots.
