Michelangelo

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was his full name. He was Italian painter, sculptor, archetect, poem, and engineer. He was considered one of the greatest living painters of all time. One of his greatest acheivements was his painting of the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. He is the first western artist who biography was published before he died. Born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese Tuscany, he was born into a family of bankers. Soon, the bank went bank bankrupt when his dad couldn't maintain the financial status. Soon, he decided to continue his career and be an artist. However rich I may have been, I have alwalys lived like a poor man.
