David and Pieta are two extraordinary sculptures - see them included here within this Blogger post. Michelangelo was the creator and it is pleasing to see that his reputation remains as strong as ever in the present day, with no signs of his name being lost in the past. This post will aim to offer you information on both of these artworks and also highlight other key moments of the career of this famous Italian.
Michelangelo was an artist who went to extraordinary lengths in order to ensure the quality of his career was maintained throughout and he took each piece of work as an important thing in it’s own right, each time, never releasing anything that he felt fell short of what he wanted. Whilst this is common for most creatives, almost to the point of becoming a fault, Michelangelo would delay and re-do things countless times to achieve his own personal satisfaction and the respect that he was afforded helped him to have a greater flexibility with his delivery of different projects.
Italy remains a country which is set up perfectly for those who still find the Renaissance era to be the most charming and impressive of all art movements to have occurred since the Middle Ages. As well as beginning the Renaissance whilst a set of adjoining provinces, Italy also provided great competition across the country as a whole which made artists very much in-demand, and highly rewarded when they completed good work.
Many continue to travel to see some of this best work from this era in it’s native locations, though unfortunately much has fallen into disrepair over the many centuries which have passed since the Renaissance first came about. Florence, Venice and Rome are the best locations for Renaissance art and much of Michelangelo’s work still is on offer, though elements have since moved abroad such is the international interest in this creative artist.
David and Pieta can be seen specifically and are contained within impressive overall collections, which really place their hosts amongst the finest art galleries and museums in the world, competing strongly against rivals in the UK, France and the rest of the EU.
