Michelangelo, who passed away on 18 February 1564, was
an Italian sculptor, painter, architect and poet of the High Renaissance born
in the Republic of Florence, who exerted an unparalleled influence on the
development of Western art. Considered by many the greatest artist of his
lifetime, and by some the greatest artist of all time, his artistic versatility
was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title
of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival, the fellow Florentine
and client of the Medici, Leonardo da Vinci.
