Michelangelo (1475 - 1564,¦Ì¶}®Ô°òù) was a famous Italian. He wore many hats: he was a sculptor, painter, architect, and poet. He is considered one of the greatest artists of all time. His most famous works include the sculpture of David and the paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel(³Ð¥@¬ö¾Àµe).

He had little interest in school but he loved painting. When he was 13, his father let him learn from the successful painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. He worked for rich people with his teacher and other pupils. Thanks to his sculpture called Pietˆj, he became famous at the age of 24.

Michelangelo grew up at his father's marble quarry(¤j²z¥Û³õ). His life-like works are still influential and loved today.
