Michelangelo was paid 3000 ducats to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It doesn't sound like much, but that would be seventy-eight thousand dollars in today's dollars, which was a huge sum of money for an artist at that time. 

The painting comprises 343 separate figures, and it took him over five years to complete.

The centerpiece is the fresco of the Creation of Adam, where God breathes life into Adam. This is one of the most reproduced art images in the world.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo Buonarroti was a towering figure of the Italian Renaissance, a period of profound European cultural and artistic change. Renowned for his mastery in sculpture, painting, architecture, and poetry, his work is defined by a deep understanding of human anatomy, dynamic composition, and a spiritual intensity that continues to captivate audiences centuries later. Among his most celebrated achievements are the statues of David and the Pietà, as well as the awe-inspiring ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, all of which demonstrate his unparalleled skill and visionary artistry and significantly contributed to the Renaissance's focus on humanism and the revival of classical art.

Born in 1475 in Caprese, Italy, Michelangelo showed artistic promise from a young age. He was apprenticed to prominent Florentine artists, including Ghirlandaio, and was later taken under the wing of Lorenzo de' Medici, an influential patron of the arts. This early exposure to Florence's artistic and intellectual circles greatly influenced his style and approach to art. Throughout his prolific career, he worked for some of the most powerful patrons of his time, including the Medici family and multiple popes. His architectural achievements, such as the design of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, further solidified his status as one of the most versatile and influential artists in Western history.

Michelangelo's legacy is not only defined by his technical brilliance but also by the emotional and philosophical depth of his work. He infused classical ideals with personal expression, bridging the gap between the human and the divine. Revered in his own lifetime as a 'divine' artist, Michelangelo remains a symbol of artistic genius. His contributions continue to inspire and define the essence of Renaissance art, and his influence can be seen in the works of countless artists from the Renaissance to the present day.
