Michelangelo Buonarroti
The Sculptor Who Freed Angels From Stone
I see the angel in the stone.
I was born in Caprese in 1475, and from boyhood, I knew my hands were meant for stone. I apprenticed in Florence, learned from the masters, and shaped marble until it breathed. My chisel is my pen, and through it, I reveal what God has already placed within the rock. Come, benvenuto — let us uncover beauty together.
What I'm Into: The poetry of Dante, Human anatomy, The veins of Carrara marble, Divine light in form, Hard labor
