  • Why is Michelangelo so different from other artists in the Renaissance? He is considered such a genius not only for his masterly craftsmanship, but because of the way he conceived his pieces of art. Explore his works with me and understand his art.

      To think about the anatomical and dress details of this grandiose work of art and then finding yourself, as I happened to be right directly in front of such a sculpture you realize the artistic greatness and the great genius of Michelangelo.

    I saw the Pieta when it was in Canada at The World's Fair. At that time you could walk right up to it with only a rope around it .
    I could not take my eyes off of it for some time. It looked alive ! That's the only way I can describe it. What a masterpiece.

    Having visited all of these places and seen these works more than once I would have to say that the unfinished bound captives and other unfinished works found in Florence and the Pieta are my favorites. The unfinished sculptures bring to life Michelangelo’s concept that his job was to liberate the innate statue from the marble.
    Nothing prepared me for the affect of actually seeing the Pieta in real life. Every time I’ve visited it I cry. There’s such pathos and such a deep sense of divinity about it. I’ve heard people who have stood beside me at the Vatican say that they don’t believe in God and yet they feel something that they can’t express when they see this statue. That is a testament to Michelangelo’s genius!

    • @r.b.633
      @r.b.633 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I felt the same when I saw the Pieta. I stood there motionless for a while on the verge of tears. There is tragedy of the moment and at the same time acceptance, mother's love and sacrifice.

      I cried when I saw David because I was awstruck. I was completely captiated by the Pieta and it's beauty and depth. I was stunned that Michaelangelo was only twenty-three when he sculpted that extraordinary, divinely-inspired work of art.

  • @docbrown9664
    @docbrown9664 ปีที่แล้ว +33

    Great video as usual! Supposedly another reason the proportions of the David are strange is because it was originally comissioned as 1 of 12 sculptures (from different artists) that were supposed the line the roof of the Duomo. While the head, neck, and torso look really large and long at ground level, the extreme viewing angle when looking at it on the roof from the ground (about 250 feet or something close to that) it would look fairly normal and properly proportioned. If true, it shows how remarkable his skills and grasp of perspective and foreshortening were. A true master.

    Thanks for this insightful introduction to the genius of Michelangelo. I am from Rome and I have seen his masterpieces multiple times. My favorite of them all is the Sistine chapel, every time i visit it, even with all the crowd of tourists, it is a magical experience. The sheer power of the images and figures he was able to conceive is still there. Yes, I would say that his masterpieces are not beautiful, they are powerful, unforgettable, unique. Another Italian artist that to me was able to bring power to his masterpieces is Caravaggio, another genius. I love them both.
