Born in a small Tuscan town in 1475, Michelangelo rose to become the greatest sculptor and painter of the Renaissance, capturing the divine in marble and plaster. He transformed a rejected, flawed block of marble into the legendary David, painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel while lying on his back for four grueling years, and engaged in a fierce creative rivalry with Leonardo da Vinci. Driven by an intense passion and relentless perfectionism, he created art that defied time itself. This calm narration follows his whole journey in clear, simple English, so you improve your listening and learn the language through real history
