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.Michelangelo's output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence, sketches and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. Two of his best-known works, the Pietà and the David, were sculpted before he turned thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting, Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in fresco in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Later in life he designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the same city and revolutionised classical architecture with his invention of the giant order of pilasters.In a demonstration of Michelangelo's unique standing, two biographies were published of him during his lifetime. One of them, by Giorgio Vasari, proposed that he was the pinnacle of all artistic achievement since the beginning of the Renaissance, a viewpoint that continued to have currency in art history for centuries. In his lifetime he was also often called Il Divino ("the divine one"), an appropriate sobriquet given his intense spirituality. One of the qualities most admired by his contemporaries was his terribilità, a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur, and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance, Mannerism.配上中文:米开朗基罗·波纳罗蒂(Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni,1475年3月6日—1564年2月18日),1475年生於佛罗伦斯加柏里斯镇,伟大的雕塑家、建筑师、画家和诗人。他与李奥纳多·达·文西和拉斐尔·桑乔并称「文艺复兴三杰」,以人物「健美」著称,即使女性的身体也描画的肌肉健壮。他的雕刻作品「大卫像」举世闻名,梅第奇墓前的「昼」、「夜」、「晨」、「昏」四座雕像构思新奇,此外著名的雕塑作品还有「摩西像」、「大奴隶」等。他最著名的绘画作品是梵蒂冈西斯廷教堂的《创世纪》天顶画和壁画《最后的审判》。他还设计和初步建造了罗马圣伯多禄大殿,设计建造了教宗尤利乌斯二世的陵墓。米开朗基罗脾气暴躁,不合群,和达·文西与拉斐尔都合不来,经常和他的恩主顶撞,但他一生追求艺术的完美,坚持自己的艺术思路。他於1564年在罗马去世,他的风格影响了几乎三个世纪的艺术家。其实还有很多他的作品介绍。但是我觉得你课前几分钟的时间讲不完的吧,就好好整理一下上边的就足够了。实在不行就去下边的参考资料看看。
