Michelangelo Buonarroti: Father
built 630 days ago
Against his father's wishes, Michelangelo chose to be the apprentice of Domenico Ghirlandaio for three years starting in 1488. Impressed, Domenico recommended him to the ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici. From 1490 to 1492, Michelangelo attended Lorenzo's school and during his stay, Michelangelo would be influenced by many prominent people who modified and expanded his ideas on art and even his feelings about sexuality. It was during this period that Michelangelo created two reliefs: Battle of the Centaurs and Madonna of the Steps.

Michelangelo was quite sensitive about being considered an artisan. On several occasions he complained of being treated as if he ran a shop, and he once expressed his chagrin when his nephew sent him a mason's rule "as if I were a stone or woodworker." Michelangelo's father initially may have opposed his son's profession precisely because manual labor was contrary to the family's aristocratic pretensions. Taking up the paternal role some years later, Michelangelo gave his nephew Lionardo constant advice regarding a profession, a proper wife, and comportment befitting a member of their "noble" family.

Michelangelo was born on the 6th March 1475 in Caprese, a small village just outside of Florence. He did ... always consider himself a Florentine. Michelangelo’s father, Ludovico, was a hard working civic official, firstly as Podesta of Caprese and later as a minor official in the city of Florence. Michelangelo’s mother Francesca Neri was frail and unable to nurse her children. She died when Michelangelo was 6 years old. Michelangelo’s wet nurse belonged to a family of stonecutters and it is said that he thrived and developed on the chiseled marble as much as the substitute milk!

For it, Michelangelo designed a never-built facade, a library, and an independent burial chapel for his patrons' fathers, brothers, and cousins. The work occupied Michelangelo from 1516 until he abandoned the whole project on returning to Rome in 1534.
