Michelangelo
I live and love in God's peculiar light.
Michelangelo
Art is the gift of God, and must be used unto His glory. That in art is highest which aims at this.
Michelangelo

Michelangelo
Good painting is the kind that looks like sculpture.
Michelangelo
Gazing on beautiful things acts on my soul.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
