Very grateful...but may I sa 27:45 y that the Captives are indeed finished. Very modern.In The Last Judgment his self portrait is because he feels unworthy in need 34:04 of being forgiven.Our most beloved Michelangelo.The Divino..

The more i study the facial features of the statue, the more it resembles, Charlton Heston. HOW can that be?? Does anyone else see WHAT i'm seeing, NOTICE it? Just sayin'....

6:42

Only gods can make this work of art

Thumbs up!... 🫀

Show me a 24 year old sculptor who can sculpt Pieta as Michael Angelo did at that age. He was insanely gifted and genius.

34:32 he sculpted Nicodemus with his own face and emotion

A true master

thanks for the history lesson....beautifully written and filmed. ❤

Interesting how he chiseled his last strike three days before his death. While being a patron for and painter of, so many religious resurrections.

My congratulations to this work. Is it not fantastic to have such a genius with his work today ? When will such a genius come again ?

Leonardo da Vinci is my always favourite Artist

Wow! What a Life of service! Pure Bliss

I have enjoyed this portrait of Michelangelo from beginning to end. It's so beautiful, thank you!

To be divinely moved by partaking in the creation of beauty was his life. For the Divine is the source of all beauty. Within himself, it came to me that he knew this, and this movement was the essence of his life. The creation of beauty to connect again with the Divine. As we can imagine Michelangelo, finishing the last folds of Mary's cloak in The Pieta, and the deep interconnectedness, the heart of reverence within him that was the pulse of life, the very reason for his being and for his existence. To place his chisel on the marble was to unite with the all-pervading peaceful essence, the intrinsic wonderment and joy of creation, and to be moved by the Beautiful to create the beautiful. Something beyond and yet within himself and his very work called to him. Beauty - it was Beauty. Another name for God. To again remember our shared oneness with all - this is what moved the great artists of the ages, and indeed, moves us all. Beautiful, beautiful.

Below is a humbling account by Michelangelo while he was painting the Sistine Chapel. His inner humanness in relation to the Divinity he was bringing to expression is intriguing. Michelangelo: To Giovanni da Pistoia "When the Author Was Painting the Vault of the Sistine Chapel" -1509 I've already grown a goiter from this torture, hunched up here like a cat in Lombardy (or anywhere else where the stagnant water's poison). My stomach's squashed under my chin, my beard's pointing at heaven, my brain's crushed in a casket, my breast twists like a harpy's. My brush, above me all the time, dribbles paint so my face makes a fine floor for droppings! My haunches are grinding into my guts, my poor ass strains to work as a counterweight, every gesture I make is blind and aimless. My skin hangs loose below me, my spine's all knotted from folding over itself. I'm bent taut as a Syrian bow. Because I'm stuck like this, my thoughts are crazy, perfidious tripe: anyone shoots badly through a crooked blowpipe. My painting is dead. Defend it for me, Giovanni, protect my honor. I am not in the right place-I am not a painter.

Brilliant narration.

How long did an uninterrupted sculpting of a lifesized statue take? How many statues did he create? How much would a typical block of marble cost? And.....how old did he live to? With the present price of material is that pretty much the reason why you don't have those thick quite solid architecture since that time period? and presently why a sculptors could buy only affford one of these blocks in their lifetime ?let alone practice and have rough drafts whether or not you're now being commissioned by someone with deep pockets. Oh ! that's right this period coincides with Spanish & others bringing in all that carribean ( I thought I'd be spell corrected) gold from the ' new world'. but still....it HAD to take a lifetime for him ( alone ?) to just sculpt that porch with steps and Moses in his sexy pose.it was suggested in other threads of the subject I'm ashamed to give credit, said that a lot of that detailed sculpting of that period was done with a softer polymore of sort that can be shaped with your hands even.I'm not questioning the validity of what I just stated, but is that a prominent art form ofsculpting ? In modern times? As an acceptable lower quality? I didn't know iws gonna say all this but I get in where I fit in.

His Skill Set Fabulous

Immortal ♥️

There are A LOT of errors in this video. For example, Michelangelo did NOT lie flat on his back when painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling, he stood upright, per his own drawing and explanation of his painting process.

Absolutely marvellous chance to know what a God bless genius is capable.

The David & The Sistine Chapel ceiling were Michael Angelo 's greatest works!! Legend 👏 👏

Mucha used by the popes

IT IS LITTLE KNOWN THAT HE ALSO PAINTED THE GARAGE DOOR WHERE THE POPE KEEPS HIS MERCEDES BENZ STRETCH LIMO.

Thank you all for contributing to this documentary of Michelangelo!

14:50 "the strength and sweetness that emanate from the characters" sweetness? thats ridiculous. misery anger and stress more like it

finally a renaissance documentary with RENAISSANCE music and not just some random muzak

Jesus love you, he died on the cross for you, accept him as your lord and savior he can change everything. For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life" (John 3:16) But you must repent too. From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near. (Matthew 4:17): ,

Humanism was the spark that ignited Western Civilization, lit in ancient Greece. Humanism inspired the Renaissance, after a thousand-year-long Christian Dark Age. Will we enter into a new Dark Age? Or will humanism once again come to our rescue? We shall see.

Excellent film

@ 23:02 Michaelangelo's hermaphrodite of the renascence.

The Master..

lol christians lol

this is my homework!

Some don't believe he painted on his back. He stood.

Thank you I have a sculpted in tallo which is soft and I have sculpted in ice. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to sculpt in marble. He is truly a great artist and I enjoyed this presentation. I also enjoy the paintings that micheal Angelo did.

I become more convinced, shared by others, that his las was indeed finished. It's hard to imagine cutting more into the sculptor. The faces could be more detailed, yet facial expression, in this great artist always was subordinate to bodily position in expressive force. Financially independent, Michelangelo carved for his own pleasure. With no one to please, to be a bit more abstract is a natural turn. Besides, I would never thought it to be incomplete unless it was pointed out to me. Even so, it still seems complete.

I like how they skipped any lost works as if they never happened

What a great artist Michelangelo was. But I think the narrator tries way too hard to analyse Michelangelo's work.

We had the privilege to see many of Michelangelo's works in Rome and Florence. All breathtaking with so many human emotions. He is truly a genius

It is beyond the hand obeying the intellect. Artists are guided beyond their physical limits.

Michelangelo was very fortunate that he was given a nurturing environment during his youth. He was protected from the coarse realities of the common world. We have to wonder whether he would have thrived later in life had he not been recognized at an early age and provided with the very best educational experience. // Poor education is how we are failing our children in our time.

And the details so perfectly noticed and shown, those definig both the style and perfection.

Professional and able to show the whole compositions, as the Bibliotheca Laurenziana, rarely rendered so wholesome as it is technically difficult. Showing consciously the above with the camera movement even if the comment lacks. The most like my own impressions movie I have seen. WOuld only suggest next time to mention where the works now can be seen, not always clear,

Hilarious

The restoration ruined the chapel though...

What a load of baloney. ALL history is a lie, I find it odd that these one of a kind masterpieces can be found all over the world. Thee renesaince is just a lie to cover up the talent that was displayed all over the world, covered up and hidden, and attributed to Rome. The Greatest Ark-i-techs of B.S. in the world. People need to do there own studies, rather than listen to Prop-o-granda.
