Michelangelo

Michelangelo

Michelangelo
After four tortured years, more than 400 over life-sized figures, I felt as old and as weary as Jeremiah. I was only 37, yet friends did not recognize the old man I had become.
Michelangelo
True art is made noble and religious by the mind producing it.
Michelangelo
