Michelangelo Matter & Spirit

[@donclark4685]

I'm awed by Michaelangelo's talent. He has been my favorite artist since I was 7. I'm 71 now. Nobody has come close to his talent.

[@mona2242]

Don Clark totally agree.

[@BM-pt6sy]

there are great figurative artists of amazing scope that emerge every now and then, but they are suppressed by the dominating abstract art market that has rewritten history books and art education to exclude naturalist painters and sculptors from relevance. you just don't hear about them.

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

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.

[@j.pocket]

This presentation is sincerely as comprehensive as it is concise. There is a wonderful moving portrait in the narration not just of the life and legacy of the master, Michaelangelo; but, also simultaneously keeps a peripheral gaze at both the Empire and the Renaissance, including the subordinate actors and artists by which each Rome and the Resurgence of the Arts during this period are most often regarded. Bravo!

[@georgegoble6054]

prolific, he thought of himself as a sculptor but painting and architecture also masterful

[@knowgo411]

Wow So much passion & power to his art & he went thru & persevered a lot for his art & Always did a Remarkable job!! Despite the crazy circumstances...if that isn't the sign of a committed & genuine Artist I don't what is!! This documentary is almost as AMAZING as the Artist himself!!! Almost...Much Respect to Michealago for his contributions of the arts & his Sacrafices! Such an inspiring story thank u for this upload!!

[@Vothtrucks]

Finding a piece of marble on my property I began ( out of curiosity ) recently to attempt sculpting it. Quickly learning how to " work " it I sat down this morning to see if I could inspire my thinking....... needless to say... absolutely astounding ! Now towards the ending of my life I hope to simply enjoy the journey.... but with a master watching in the back of my mind.

[@anastasiadunn2085]

Until one has stood under those frescoes and seen them in person, one just cannot fully appreciate the full scope of the paintings, in their entirety. They are PHENOMENAL!! I could not stop staring at them, tears filling my eyes. They appear as though they were painted a decade ago. THANK GOD for the restorers who worked SO METICULOUSLY to remove centuries of grime to once again reveal the sheer brilliance of Michelangelo's masterpieces. (Search 'The Sistine Restored', it's the first documentary that comes up. Astounding film!)

[@rr7firefly]

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.

He was a mere 23 when he sculpted Pieta. The narrator mentions this almost as an afterthought. Think about that. Twenty three years old! He seeks and finds the right piece of marble as though he had a life time of knowledge. Argggggg! I could go on and on....it is just stunning.....I am an artist...I am nothing in his shadow.

Marble!! It takes you over, it is so sublime!

[@zain4019]

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.

[@obrcht]

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.

[@egparis18]

He didn't work lying on his back. That was Charlton Heston. Michelangelo worked standing up with his head tilted way back. That's what made it so uncomfortable. It's mentioned in Vasari and in a humourous sonnet of his own. There's even a funny sketch he did. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Michelangelo_painting_God.JPG

The Two Immortal Geniuses of Marble...Phidias and Michelangelo.

[@nicoladc89]

Bernini, Strazza, Sanmartino, Donatello, Solari etc... Anyway, in the entire history there was only 5 artists that are remembered/recognized by only their first name (no nicknames, no surnames, only their first names), like happens with some great emperors (Caesar, Claudius, Nero, Augustus, Napoleon) or Jesus. These are Michelangelo (Buonarroti), Leonardo (da Vinci), Raffaello (Sanzio), Tiziano (Vecellio) and Dante (Alighieri).

[@nicoangel3452]

@@nicoladc89 remember Phidias was nearly 800-900 years before the great Michelangelo. When the “Laocoon and Sons attacked by Serpents” was found , legend has it that Michelangelo proclaimed that he couldn’t do any better than the brilliance of the Hellenic master of this statue nearly 1000 Yrs prior . Amazing !

[@latitudeselongitudes1932]

@@nicoangel3452 Laocoon was not done by Phidias. Agesander, Athenodorus and Polydorus did it

[@nicoangel3452]

Of course Phidias did not sculpt the statue . We know this. My comment regarding the Fact that Michelangelo allegedly said, after seeing this quintessential work of art….that he could not improve on the genius of Hellenic Brilliance in his efforts to match and “better” the art of Sculpture…. Stands ! Phidias …. Michelangelo …. The pinnacle of brilliance in Sculpture and Art . We bow before both geniuses!

[@latitudeselongitudes1932]

​@@nicoangel3452 Thats true, Laocoon is a beautiful masterpiece, just like others such as David, Apollo Belvedere, Augusto Prima Porta, Venus de Milo, Nike of Samothrace, The Thinker. Greece had great sculptors besides Phidias such as Lysippos, Lysistratus, Polykleitos, Myron, Leochares, Praxiteles. Sculpture is my favorite art and my favorites are these greeks i just mentioned besides Michelangelo, Bernini, Canova, Giambologna, Rodin, Arno Breker, George Minne, Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Alberto Giacometti, Sarbari Choudhury and Prodosh Gupta. I am also a huge fan of buddhist and hindu sculptures in styles such as Gandhara, Gupta, Pala, Chola, Torma and Khmer

[@gary1251]

Such lovely comments; full of gratitude just as Michelangelo was full of perseverance and lust for life. Maybe a good time to revisit some of his treasures would in in Sept or Oct - less crowds, hopefully.

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.
