Michelangelo was a fantastic person of the arts. He scuplted, painted, engineered, and conducted poetry. He created many famous things including... David, The Last Supper, The roof of The Sistine Chapel, Moses, The Last Judgment, and the Santa Maria. Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475 and died February 18, 1564 at the age of 88. I think that he constructed and created some of the most famous and amazing pictures and scupltures of the Renaissance. Nichelangelo was a truly amazing Renaissance artist!
Leonardo da Vinci was considered the all mighty man when it comes to the Renaissance. Here is a picture... Leonardo was also an amazing artist and inventor. He created Mona Lisa and also invented Scissors, a fantastic invention people use every day. He also was the inventor of the parachute, the robot (the dance or the structure?), the crane, clocks, and lots MORE! Another interesting fact is that it took him 10 entire years just to paint Mona Lisa's lips! WOW! Also, his father took custody of him while his mother went off and married someone else, while living in a neighboring town. Leo, over time, ended up with 17 half sisters and brothers! Leonardo liked to write journal entries sdrawkcab (backwards)! He could also be considered a man of "both" worlds. The worlds of science and art. The man born in 1452 was very interesting!!!
