Michelangelo - A Revolution in Art | Documentary

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.พ. 2025
- At the young age of 23, Michelangelo broke all traditions and created his first masterpiece - the Pietà, of Mary cradling the body of Jesus Christ after his death, who looks as if he was sleeping peacefully.
Michelangelo’s David sculpture, carved from a 7-metre-high block of marble, also broke taboos of its time - an anatomically perfect body representing the freedom and sovereignty of the spirit. Michelangelo’s frescoes are no less monumental than his sculptures.
When Michelangelo was offered the job of decorating the arched ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he had never painted a fresco before. Michelangelo locked himself in the Sistine Chapel for four years and suffered terrible hardships while working day and night. The result was a work the likes of which had never been seen before: The Creation Story, portraying God’s creation of the world.

What a fantastic documentary… being 89 years old he was still active and his pieta was made when he was 22!
I am so proud of being italian and being born in a country that gave birth to such geniuses like Michelangelo, Leonardo, Botticelli, Verrocchio, Bernini, Cellini and all the others. Their genius and talent echoes in the eternity!
Proud of something you had nothing to do with lol
So what’s your talent lol
Why are you proud of something you haven't achieved yourself?
Lies again? Anal To Malay USD SGD
You being an italian is nothing to gloat about since your country gave us fascism under mussolini~~
I went to Rome w/my family in 1985, we barely had cameras then, but Ill never forget seeing his work I was 15yrs old and absolutely MARVELED.. LIKE wow how did this guy do this on the Celeings??? 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 I mean INSAINE, AND the brushes and the 🕯 just INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL AMAZING.. BRAVO!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Do you remember what shape his pupils were or if the statue had pupils?
This is one of the greatest documentaries I have watched about Michelangelo. Fantastic!! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for making this video. I’ll never forget the moment I saw his Pieta. And to learn here it was his first work! Truly amazing!
i see michaelangelo as the greatest renaissance man. extraordinary, genius, unhindered talent, immeasurable energy...
Even thought this video is re-recorded in English I love how they allow a slip of the original audio in the interviews, so far I hear a mix of Italian and German people talk about Michelangelo , which truly shows how this one man’s work has affected almost the whole world in one way or another
An excellent fleshed out documentary, original and modern. Best on Michelangelo--man and artist
Incredible documentary. Micelangelo is the most prolific talent of all time.
What a genius and wonderful, pure Soul he was. You can still see and feel it in his art...his Soul!💓
No any artist doing their job like him , he is the master teacher to all type of Arts..his work increditble, and unforgetable to this world..Its agift from God handship to his image through Michalangelo for us to study from his generation to generations never end. Thank you for this precious biography video🙏⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
HAHA
A wonderful documentary! When we went to Florence, and saw the statue of David, it was breathtaking!!! I stood in absolute awe of the beauty and magnificence of the statue. The marble is milk white, flawless. David’s physique is perfection.
Incredible documentary! It takes the breath away.
Thank you for your Magnificent presentation about the world's Greatest Polymath of all time.
Magnificent production. Thank you all.
Michelangelo is my favorite artist from that time period!❤😊
Just curious as to who you like as a living Artist today.??
Closely followed by Vinci? I love Leo Vinci but omg, he was also kind of a jealous fan of Michelangelo
I was going to say Da Vinci but Leonardo was more of an all rounder while Michelangelo was strictly an artist so yeah imma go for Micheal to
Thanks for giving us another look at Michelangelo!
"What drove this obsessive artist?" I can't speak for Michaelangelo but I can speak for myself and my work. I'm a fiber artist and colourist, Guild Master in two disciplines and there is never a day when I go without using my needles (knitting, tapestry and embroidery, not heroin), except when I'm so ill that I'm in the hospital and it becomes impossible to sit up. I can only say what drives me: passion for colour, a cherry tree in blossom, a particular cloud formation over the ocean at the height of a Nor'easter, everywhere I turn there is something to see and understand, to study and let my imagination run wild as I think of ways to make seeing grass clippings and dog poop into something earthy and vibrant. There are many times that this kind of sensory intake becomes overwhelming to the point that I can not function outside my apartment door. (Then my dog will jump on me with a look on her face that says: "What are we doing inside? I'll go get my leash while you get dressed so we can go out for a walk!" jerking me back into the mundane and daily contact with the rest of the world. That too can be a challenge, just to lead what some may label a "normal life". I can't claim to have painted the Sistine Chapel or sculpted the Pieta but seeing others wearing the vibrant colours of my designs comes as close as I'll ever get. One might say I'm the proverbial starving and obsessed artist who lives to make my needles fly and sends me looking around the Internet for a great yarn or wool sale. I know I have at least these things in common with the maestro, the drive to work for three days straight without sleep or anything to eat, the desire to create perfection knowing that this is impossible, to have a mind so crowded with inspiration that overload can cripple me. These things I do understand, and I also understand the sense that even with the highest praise, the onlooker will never know what it takes to create art as close to perfection as any human can make it and never be satisfied and for an observation from someone which makes it difficult not to react with arrogance. The interior life of an artistic genius is extremely crowded, always open to everything in his surroundings mixed with the desire to please and the egotism of knowing there are only two other people alive today who can do what I do. It's hard to be deprecating and modest when someone tells me, "That's genius.", to smile and say, "Thank you, that's very kind of you" while thinking, "Right. It's only knitted, embroidered or cloth of gold fabric. For me, this is like brushing my teeth. I could pump out designs like this twice a week if I had 16 hands." And my real profession? Registered Nurse in Critical Care. It pays the bills.
Great to hear from contemporary artists being passionate about their work. It provides me with hope even being from a scientific background that indeed art will never die and rise up again with the winds of revolution.
I respect your extensive essay on your own artwork. However, all artists are driven-no matter how successful or not they are in the eyes of the world. I say this as both an art critic and artist myself. The maker of this documentary had nothing very profound to say so he/she kept repeating this cliche which is obvious from Michelangelo’s artwork and personal life. He just had more talent than most artists and sculptors of his time. He also found the right patrons.
Wow, this is amazing. Where can I see your work?
Congratulations...only 2 others can do what you do artistically. I believe your efforts in critical care support your problem solving abilities necessary in art expression.
I have a question. How do you find the time to knit…when you’re not writing essays?
I visited Florence 10 years ago, Rome last year, and watched more than 10 times of the movie "Agony And The Ecstasy", Michelangelo was the artist not do what he was told to do, he boldly and strongly expressed his soul, and rebellion against society. His power of art won his enemy's love to protect the heritage as well.
I feel Angelo's pain I can relate to his solitary lifestyle and dedication to what he loves
They are really Blessed to be able to experience these WONDERFUL WORKS every day I can only dream 💭
The GOAT. The greatest Artist to ever lived. And It's not particularly close I don't think
What about DA VINCI ??
@nirajithnambiar7642 Vinci was a better scientist (good work on friction and hydraulic) and a better canvas painter. Michelangelo held painting in very low regard though. He was undoubtedly the greatest Sculpturer ( Bernini is close) and fresco painter of all time. And a better Architect then Leonardo. By Artist I'm assuming Visual Arts obviously. No one thinks Michelangelo was a great scientist
Fantastic Documentary ! Great work. Thank you providing this masterpiece!!
DaVinci is the iconic Renaissance man because of his forward thinking and novel view of the world, but as an artist, Michaelangelo seems heads above. The Mona Lisa is great etc, but this! Unparalleled beauty!
What a well put documentary!!!😊
What a terrific documentary, enjoyed it very much thank you
he suffered his whole life, everything he did was achingly beautiful. he left his pain in beauty for the world to see.
You have a natural gift for this.
Beautiful Devotion. He had the passion of Christ.
I was the luckiest person to see his work. The Pieta is the best of his sculptures in my opinion and the Sistine Chapel Fresco is ASTONISHING.
What is best about him is that he knew and lived by (Philippians 4:13)
Everytime I watch this kind of Docu. My heart beats fast "it's like you feel so much morivation and inspiration" I can relate also with this attitude when I create Art, it feels like i don't feel hungry. It's ok if I dont take a break as long as I finish my work.
Excellent, excellent documentary
REALLY FANTASTIC,
FABULOUS TERRIFIC
THANKS A LOT❤❤❤
Ive watched this multiple times. What a wonderful video you people made
Thank you for this!
This man was a genius. He's my mentor.❤

Michelangelo is my favorite artist 👨🎨 of this time in History!💪❤️🔥His art 🖼️ work I feel is the very best!!!
Oh good show liked watching the old classics brings me back to high school when I was obsessed with MC
The art shown was fantastic,Mom course! But the “art critics” were extremely annoying - a bit much.
Thank you for sharing this extraordinary man’s art 🙏🙏🙏
This was a spectacular documentary!!!
The humility, the obedience, the righteousness
Praise God
Hallelujah
Creativity knows no bounds here. Keep pushing the envelope!
Thank you for posting this documentary.
amazing. a life with grand purpose
Superb series thank you
A genius like no other.
Michelangelo was a genius. Despite concerns about the Sistine Chapel frescoes, it looks like they still pack it full of tourists. Hence the need for more filtration systems and sensors, and hence the need for more money and jamming it with more people each day. It's like a vicious cycle...
Michelangelo focused on art, which was his love, and he was physically active while limiting the amount he ate. He didn't overindulge in anything, such as wine, lovers, and prostitutes. He was not anchored to a job he hated due to inflation, mortgages, taxes, and children's tuitions. This is why he lived to 89 in a world where the average lifespan was about age 35
The model sitting on the scaffolding is a HUGE mistake in this documentary!
Michelangelo did not use live models but rather his own sketches and absolutely did not allow anyone to see what he was doing while he was working on the ceiling, not even the Pope! !
Not to mention there isn’t really any point in having the model there when you’ve already finished painting the guy.
@@SkywalkerSamadhiAlthough they are using it for dramatic reasons, the shading and shadowing may be a reason.
No the point is that he used no live models at all neither before nor after. Just cartoon's sketches. That's it. The documentary it's simply not accurate.
Fantastic documentary! Thank you ~🌟
Bello Magnificent Work of work ❤❤
Stunning!
A different view from other documentaries. Thank you.
🔴 So much so, that it is needless to say that he was a genius!!!
Super documentário.
Michelangelo foi grande
This is an excellent documentary.
It's an amazing documentary❤
REAL ART MASTER...!
Bello documental.... Ojalá lo suban en español . Es una joya 💍
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story. Yes I have the Vatican City and San Peter's Basilica the work done by Michael's Angeles is best👍👍👍❤
LIFE CHANGING VIDEO THIS IS, THANKS 🙏🏻
Magnificent
Beautiful documentary 👍🏻
This was helpful for my history speech thank you
Absolutely fascinating information, such a wonderful artist 🎨
Awesome.
Great documentary
I have the same birthday. Also my 3rd cousin was called the Michelangelo of the century for his paintings in The Morman Tabernacle. Sidney King
Fascinating ❤
His skill is breathtaking
Dovoljno je da je izvajao Davida i Pijetu za njegovu večnost.
I am spellbound !
My old bf was a body double for the David. I sure do miss him. 😂
I watched the whole video. Do you produce this? Everything including those movie like scenes? It's so beautifully directed and produced.
A genius he had the hand of God
I just noticed this but the red fabric that encompasses god in the creation of man also looks like a heart. An anatomically correct heart.😮
Yes years ago there was a PBS TV show about Michaelangelo and they focused quite a bit on the appearance of anatomically correct human organs hidden in the painting just like you observed the heart in the robe. I forget shows name. Sorry. Very interesting.
Thats jusr ish hap os hs ert think abbout it
22:22 "You can live without marble, but I'm happier with it" Fittingly artistic way of putting it.
TH-cam needs to chill with these ads every 4 minutes.. 🤬👎
Just install Adblock Plus addon...
Michaelangelo's work is certainly worth being celebrated. However, I think he gets more credit than he deserves, as there were other pieces, created 200 years before Michaelangelo, that are absolutely stunning, life-like and outside Italy, which is why they have been deliberately left off the best list.. So yes, Michaelangelo was a fantastic sculptor, and a great painter, but there were other great ones before him.
He was first and foremost renowned by his contemporaries. No one else has the imbued such detail to give that dynamism in their works.
Can you give us names of the artists or of their work, so that we can compare?
17:09 "What fascinated him most about anatomy was the nature of the musculature."
Does that make him the first big e6-style artist?
FROM WHAT I HEARD FOR DECADES, THE MARLBLE BLOCK WAS SITTING FOR 30 YEARS REJECTED BY OTHER SCULPTORS. DAVID WAS NEVER COMMISSIONED FROM ANYONE USING A NEW MARBLE BLOCK.
His David is truely a masterpiece of perfection. Any copy statues cannot come near it unless done by 3D printer.
Dam that comeback to the pope “make the world a decent place, then the pictures will be decent too”. ☝️
Michelangelo did not paint laying down! He painted standing up with his head back. This was result in a lot of neck problems.
Great stuff
この~よぅな完璧な才能を持った人間はもう生まれないかもしれないね。
wonderfull, thank you.
great video i luv it...interesting details............. i wonder how well or if Micholangelo learn something from Leonardo, how well they got along?????
This was helpful for my history speech thank you🙏
From Gemini on the question 'how did Michelangelo learn human anatomy':
* Dissection: Unlike many artists, Michelangelo directly studied the human body through dissection. He reportedly began dissecting corpses in his late teens.
* Drawing from Life: He meticulously drew from live models throughout his career.
* Classical Sculpture: He studied the forms depicted in ancient Greek and Roman sculptures.
- Accurate?
Left out his struggles with his sight.
Bernini and Michaelangelo are the two best sculptures in the world .
The pieta and the ecstasy of st teresa. But to me when it comes to marble , Bernini was the best.
Bernini technical ability and precision is superior, but Michaelangelo sculptures make my belly ache with pain and beauty.
19:58 "Michelangelo has a high wooden fence built around the block as a screen for fear of spies and the theft of his ideas."
Maybe the fears of DeviantArt have always been there.
Best 51:52 minutes of my life
34:41 "The beauty of Michelangelo's painting and sculpture lies in the exaggeration of anatomy."
The first big e6 artist?
Amen 🙏✝️
When I was a child, people were healthier and didn’t go to doctor’s offices frequently, in fact rarely. I also know that our dogs and cats lived longer and were rarely sick. Cancer was rare in humans and animals.
What the heck happened ? Fast , non nutritious food, less time inside . Now we eat junk food in front of the tv for hours, don’t go outside much. , drive everywhere. We have to change our habits before the medical \pharmacy industry swallows us all up .
It's a statue and a great expression of a human body.
Great,, watch the Ben Franklin film ,,
Amazing how certain people have always been the violent yet want to call everyone else violent.
