Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.

Michelangelo was considered the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and ever since then he has been held to be one of the greatest artists of all time.

A number of his works in painting, sculpture, and architecture rank among the most famous in existence. His output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century.

In 1505 Michelangelo returned to Rome. He was commissioned by the Pope in 1508 to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo considered himself to be a sculptor, but agreed to paint the Sistine Chapel for the Pope.  

He worked for four years, painting upside down on a scaffold in order to finish the painting. The painting was huge (141 feet long by 43 feet wide). It contained nine scenes from the Bible down its center and over 300 people.

Leonardo Da Vinci

Leonardo di ser Piero Da Vinci

Born: April 15, 1452Vinci, TuscanyDied: May 2, 1519Amboise, Kingdom of France

Despite the recent awareness and admiration of Leonardo as a scientist and inventor, for the better part of four hundred years his fame rested on his achievements as a painter and on a handful of works, either authenticated or attributed to him that have been regarded as among the masterpieces.

These paintings are famous for a variety of qualities which have been much imitated by students and discussed at great length by connoisseurs and critics.

Among the qualities that make Leonardo's work unique are the innovative techniques which he used in laying on the paint, his detailed knowledge of anatomy, light, botany and geology, his interest in physiognomy and the way in which humans register emotion in expression and gesture, his innovative use of the human form in figurative composition, and his use of the subtle gradation of tone.

Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino

Born: March 28, 1483 or April 6, 1483Urbino, MarcheDied: April 6, 1520Rome, Italyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Santi

He was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form and ease of composition and for its visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur.

Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period. Many of his works are found in the Vatican Palace, where the frescoed Raphael Rooms were the central, and the largest, work of his career.

Sandro Botticelli was born in Italy in 1444. He was one of Florence's favorite artists. Botticelli's real name was Alessandro Filipepi. He became known as Botticelli when he went to live with his older brother, Botticello.

He died in the year 1519. He died a lonely man having done little or no more painting in the last ten years. It was not until over 350 years after his death that the world recognized his importance in art.

He was known for his religious pictures but his most famous works were paintings of mythological creatures and gods from ancient Greek and Roman stories.

He was more interested in making his paintings beautiful in a fantasy kind of way.He used his paint brush like a pen or a pencil to outline, or add lines around the people in his painting. His line work help give a feeling of movement to his painting.

Tiziano Vecelli

Born: c. 1488/1490Died: August 27, 1576

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titian

He painted during the Renaissance and became the leading artist of Venice.Even as a young boy Titian was a good artist. His drawings caught his father’s attention and Titian became an apprentice.

His teachers were well-known master painters and included Gentile Bellini and Giovanni Bellini. The painter who influenced young Titian the most, though, was Giorgione.

When Giovanni Bellini died, Titian was hired to complete the paintings Bellini had left unfinished. He did a good job and he was asked to paint frescos in the Doges Palace and other government buildings. Because of this commission, Titian painted portraits of several Dukes.
