Michelangelo was a prolific artist, with a celebrated Italian temper. It is
said that he received a broken nose during his apprenticeship, resulting
from an argument with his mentor.
Italy was flourishing under the leadership of Lorenzo Medici, who began
a rebirth of the arts called the Renaissance. Lorenzo was
Michelangelos patron and allowed him to create. Another supporter of
Michelangelo was Pope Julius II who commissioned Michelangelo to
paint the Sistine Chapel and also design his tomb.
