Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 6, 1475 - February 18, 1564), commonly known as Michelangelo, was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.
Each of the paintings depicted below are painted directly on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, Italy. Because of this, none of their reproductions are painted in their original size, and each of them are reproduced on canvas, but in the same aspect ratio as seen on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
