Rapheal(Ralph)-did a painting of the School of Athens with contemporary artists of the age.
Micheangelo(Mike) was added as an afterthought, b/c Rapheal was mean.
Had Plato in the center teaching some Zen-Buddha crap goin on. (not really)
shoot me.
naked guy.
Statue of David-1501-1504-made by Mike. Florence wanted it in front of town hall. Supposed to be on top high above city. This explains the slightly out of proportion head and shoulders. The problem with this...Mike made it too damned big. About 18 ft tall big. They couldn't get it up to the top of the city hall. Figure was a symbol saying that Florence was ready to defend itself from French punk, er king Louis XVI (Louie16). Louie16 was a jerk.
Mike was mainly a sculptor, but Pope Julius 2 got him to do some painting, aka the Sisteen Chapel.
Place lined with frescos, not by Mike, but by other contemporary artist, such as Bottachelli (Botty).
Mike couldn't touch the walls b/c of the frescos, so he had to make Scapolding that got him to the roof to paint.
Birth of Man-in the center, Adam pokes God. God has his posse with him, and poor Adam is naked and by hisself. Ceiling was basically the book of Genesis. Mike messed his body up doing the ceiling work. He fell once and got all gimpy for a bit. He became hunched from the painting.
Oh yea, Mike was pissed by the Pope double-timing him. He was originally commissioned to make a sculpture of Moses for a tomb, but Pope LIED!!!!!!!!!!!! He made him paint that stupid ceiling instead; ;.
I like pie.
LOL it looks like Moses is on the pot.
Statue of Moses on Tomb of Julius 2 (Pope died in 1513, HA!). Mike wanted 40 mosesi(right Plural?) but thats a lil ridiculous. So one Moses(with da horns.) Btw, in Renaissance art, Moses has horns.
Wicked.
Holy hell! That looks cool!
Sirlopoploosop?-Statue by Mike with dood fighting a snake. Ok the statue is Locklin and 2 sons fighting a sea serpent.
Mike was an architect too. Mike=teh pwnage.
Had a Roman-Greek thing goin on. Well really all of his work did, but hey, whatever works for him, right?
Lotsa stairs. Curvalinear vs. Rectalinear. Heh heh, Rectal.
Vermonte- made a lil church. Nice lil church, with circular design. Had something to do with St. Peter. Supposed to be where he was martyred, but seeing as how they weren't anywheres near that...
Wierd chapel.... lotsa columns.... stuff... multidirectional approach....or somethin....
Florence was a strange place.
