MICHELANGELO
Michelangelo was born in Caprese, Italy on March, 6th, 1475. His mother passed away when he was only six. As a child all he wanted to do was paint and grow up to be an artist. In 1508 the pope wanted Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It took him four years, but it turned out to be one of the most famous paintings of all time.
