Question 9

A Renaissance Man is a man who portrays the evidence from the renaissance as the re-birth and had many different works that influenced the time period. Michaelangelo proudly created the new art form of having perspective in his art. This was new to the time period. Also, he did some very significant pieces. The statue of David was completely made out of marble and it showed the human body as a beautiful thing. This was very popular during the Renaissance (Figure 1). The next important thing he did was the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which still exists today and is very beautiful (fig. 2).  The third important thing he did was the pieta (fig. 3).
