Michelangelo is one of the most famous Renaissance artists ever!
Michelangelo greatly influenced Roman art, as well as other artists who were around at his time, through his vast amount of achievements. Mannerism was the main type of artwork Michelangelo turned to. This style of art focused on intricate poses and elongated visions of figures. Over the years, artists studied mannerism and used the ideas of Michelangelo to contribute to their own artwork.
Michelangelo excelled in sculpture, architecture, painting, and poetry.
Michelangelo also carved the statue for the Tomb of Lorenzo de Medici.
