NOTES

Who was Michelangelo? -- Education of an artist -- Renaissance man -- The giant -- The painting on the ceiling -- The Popes' orders -- Defending Florence -- The Medici chapel -- The Last Judgment -- A true master

"Michelangelo created some of the world's most recognizable art, from the statue of David to the intricate ceiling fresco of the Sistine Chapel. Beyond his well-known painting and sculpting, he was a gifted poet and architect. Young readers can learn about the entirety of Michelangelo's life, from his time as a young apprentice, and his relationships with several Catholic popes and the Medici family, to his unwillingness to stop working into his late eighties."--

Ages 8-12
