Michelangelo

"The Creation of Eve" by Michelangelo

          Michelangelo was born on March 6th, 1475 in Florence, Italy. He made many works such as "The Creation of Eve" and "The David". Many of his works are in the Sistine Chapel. His works are mainly from parts of the Bible. He was rivals with another famous artist, maybe you've heard of him, Leonardo Da Vinchi. Michelangelo was also an inspiration to Raphael. Michelangelo died on February 18th, 1564.

          The painting "The Creation of Eve" is cracked in some places, I think this helps show how old this painting and how long ago this was painted. The colors are dull which shows the mood of the painting. Eve is begging God for something and he's explaining something to her (I don't know Bible stories because I'm not Christian). God is the only one in clothes, i guess he doesn't want Adam and Eve to start with anything. 

          I think this shows that even when we are in desperate need of something, people won't let us have them, even when they have enough to spare. This is different because this takes place before money was really important  and all they needed was food, clothing, and shelter, all of which they do not appear to have. I think that shows modern day homeless people, they don't have food and shelter, so they beg for it from people who are better dressed and fed.

          After researching Michelangelo, I really want to go to Italy and see his work in the Sistine Chapel. I want to see this painting in person, I want to see if it looks the same online or if it's more cracked in person.
