Michelangelo Buonarroti: The Man, The Time and His Work

Abstract: The Renaissance encompassed the end of the medieval mindset and hailed the transcendence of the Christian faith. It was a time when transformation was heralded as progressive while still within the parameters of the accepted principles of the Church and the ruling monarchy. This 15 page paper argues that Michalangelo Buonarroti's life was not only on a par with the circumstances of his time, it was also a clear demonstration of the way in which political, social and religious structures have impact on the lives of the people and the meaning instilled in the art and architecture. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
