More than 400 years after his death, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio is more popular than ever. Long lines form outside exhibitions of his art, and by one scholar's count, he's been written about more in recent decades than his namesake, Michelangelo Buonarroti. Caravaggio's celebrity status is due not only to the graphic, cinematic quality of his paintings but also his wild personality. The "bad boy" of Italian painting, Caravaggio was volatile, often violent, almost certainly bisexual and constantly in trouble with the law, forced to flee Rome in 1606 after killing a man in a duel.
Few in the world of art have the star power of Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). His light has glowed even brighter since 1994 when layers of glues, waxes and grime were removed from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, inside the Vatican, to expose Michelangelo's original jewel-bright hues. Lovers of Michelangelo are legion: So many tourists flood Florence each year, around 1.3 million, that officials might move his best-known sculpture, "David," out of town to reduce the congestion. No pilgrimage, no passport, no hassle; see original works by one of the world's greatest artists here in Syracuse at SUArt Galleries' current exhibition Michelangelo: The Man and the Myth. If we could have brought the Sistine Chapel ceiling, we would've," said Gary Radke, Syracuse University professor of...
A case in point was his execution of "Drei Gedichten von Michelangelo," with music by Hugo Wolf, based on German translations of the original Italian texts by Walter RobertTornow. [Eric Owens] captured the essence of these dark ruminations on life by the painter Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564). It was an emotionally shattering experience. This was followed by a group of five love songs by Brahms, concluding with the masterpiece "Von ewiger liebe," based on a text by Josef Wenzdg. Owens and his pianist, [Bradley Moore], captured vividly the concerns of the young protagonists, which happily concludes with the line "Our love will have to last forever!

¿Por qué está desnudo David? Michelangelo lo esculpió así para recordarnos que [David], cuando era militar, contaba a sus enemigos los filisteos cortándoles el pellejo del prepucio a los incircuncisos. El ritual de amputar el pene del cadáver como trofeo de batalla era típico en las culturas antiguas de Oriente Medio. Michelangelo, con David, recordó a los judíos que uno de sus grandes personajes fue también un simple, regular y normal ser humano con todos sus aciertos y errores, con sus limitaciones y alcances. David acababa de fundar Jerusalén a donde llevó el Arca de la Alianza y diseñar el símbolo del judaismo con la estrella de 2 triángulos, (símbolo de equilibrio, equidad, justicia y buen corazón) y decidió celebrar ese momento con una danza frenética y extática donde se quedó sin...

[James David Draper] did not recognize the work by Michelangelo then, but believed it to be by a later Florentine sculptor with knowledge of the work of Bertoldo di Giovanni, Michelangelo's mentor. In 1997's articles in The Burlington Magazine, New York University professor Kathleen Weil-Garris Brandt's attribution of the marble to the young Michelangelo caused a scholarly stir. Brandt's attribution to Michelangelo was championed by Draper and endorsed by many scholars, while others disagreed. In 1999, "The Young Archer" was the centerpiece of an exhibition on Michelangelo's formative years called "Giovinezza di Michelangelo (The Early Years of Michelangelo)" at the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. "The Young Archer" was then exhibited alone at the Musee du Louvre, Paris, where a dissenting...
