Features: When the entire Europe was in an exciting period full of development and change, Michelangelo lived in Italy. What we now know as the Renaissance originated from French, meaning rebirth. Michelangelo was not only a painter but also a sculptor, architect, and poet. He is considered one of the greatest masters of art during the Renaissance. The Renaissance movement, which emerged in the 14th century, was a period when scholars, sculptors, and painters rediscovered the great works of ancient Greece and Rome— their philosophy, literature, science, architecture, and art. This inspired them to ask questions about the world around them. They began to explore how the world truly worked and what it looked like. Artists and sculptors quickly developed entirely new creative techniques in sculpture and more realistic and skillful painting methods. As artists became more technically proficient, they not only gained confidence but also skill, creating some of the finest art the world has ever seen.
