To 'rank↗as a 'masterpiece, a 'work↗ of art 'must↗ ∨stand as a su'preme↗ and 'timeless a'ccomplishment↘.Cre'ating 'one work this↗ extravordinary 'could be the 'crowning 'glory↗ of 'any artist's 'life,and 'among those, 'few who have a'chieved the re'markable dis'tinction↗ of producing a ∨masterpiece in 'more than 'one 'branch↗ of the 'arts↘.Miche'langelo 'Buona'rroti ∨stands almost 'totally a'lone↘.His 'vast↗ number↗ of creations↗ in'clude↗:the 'vivid↗ 'biblical 'scenes↗ that 'graced the ceiling↗ of the 'Sistine 'Chapel;the he'roic 'marble sculpture of 'David;and the 'central↗ plan↗ for the 'monu'mental St. 'Peter's↗ Cathedral in 'Rome↘.His 'talents / were 'so↗ ex'ceptional / that 'during↗ his 'own 'lifetime↗, he was 'called↗ / “di’vine”↘.

For 'centuries, Miche'langelo has been per∨ceived as a 'tortured↗ and 'lonely man—a solitary ∨genius who 'suffered both 'personal↗ and fi'nancial 'agonies in cre'ating his 'art↘.In 'truth, for 'much↗ of his 'life, Miche'langelo 'lived↗ 'quite↗ ‘well↘.'Yet↗, no matter 'how↗ successful he be'came, he 'never↗ lost his 'burning 'need to cre'ate↘.While 'countless 'other 'artists 'fade from 'memory, Miche'langelo and his 'work↗ en'dure↘.And as the 'gene'rations 'pass, 'many↗ 'wonder 'what↗ inspired this ex'ceptional man to pro'duce 'such im'mortal cre'ations↘.
