Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese，Italy on March 6，1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up.His mother died when he was only six years old.Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life.Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.

At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio，who was not only a painter but also an artist.Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico.Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni.Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time.During the next few years，Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps，Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.

In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome.A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta.It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art.Today this sculpture sits in St.Peter's Basilica in the Vatican.It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.

Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow.He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David.It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue.The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin.Many people didn't think he could do much with it.He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished.Da v id became Michelangelo's most famous work of art.It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome.It is considered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture.Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence，Italy.
