In what ways did Michelangelo represent a departure from what had come before?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary, but students should reflect an understanding of Michelangelo Buonarotti's individualism, both as expressed in his profoundly personal sculptures, paintings, and architectural designs, but also the passion that he brought to his work, which was at times at direct odds with that of his patron, the most powerful man in Rome, the militaristic Pope Julius. Prior to Michelangelo, artists were seen as craftsman and artisans, workers for hire on a par with furniture makers and cobblers. Michelangelo represented the passionate, visionary, humanist, individualist who could not be told by anyone else when his work was ready for the public.
