Renaissance+and+Reformation+Sculpture

This statue on the right, made by Renaissance artist Michelangelo, demonstrates how the artists of that time explored other art, such as sculptures. In the middle ages, people tended to only paint. Artists like Michelangelo inspired others to become artists. Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinchi and Raphael were the main three icons of that time. Their artwork later inspired northern artists such as Durer.

Michelangelo also made the statue on the left, titled Madonna with Child. He was the most famous sculpture of the Renaisssance, but he also painted to. Michelangelo, as you can see, made a lot of religious art. He also was an architecht. In the 1500s, he made architechture, sculptures, paintings and he also wrote some poetry.
