MICHELANGELO: Painting Sistine Chapel, the Spirit of Renaissance
Renaissance period had a special feature in respect of the development in religious sector, too. The artists of this period had seen unprecedented support from ambitious Popes. The church helped artist in commissioning the work of painting and sculpture; and they offered these works for the decades. Michelangelo had enjoyed benefits of the support of church.
Michelangelo had developed his own style of painting that would be called ‘Highly Impassioned’. Those who later followed ‘Mannerism Style of Painting’ followed most of the characteristics of art of Michelangelo. His style of painting had been so impressive, in depth and in artistic patterns. Though his father desired to educate him in grammar and language, Michelangelo loved copying of the paintings done by masters. He used to went to Church for the purpose painting; he me other painters to get himself educated in that line of actions. Such was his passionate enthusiasm; so focussed was his attention.
The Art: though reluctant to leave his work of sculpture for which he was commission, Michelangelo had accepted to paint the ceiling of Sistine Chapel. Here he executed an unprecedented work. On the ceiling of Sistine Chapel there are paintings based on Book of Genesis. Some of the paintings depict the ancestors of Christ, too. Though based on old religious themes and subjects, Michelangelo endeavoured depicting the spirit of Renaissance. One would notice the humanist touch in his paintings.
