The work presented is St. Lucy Altarpiece, painted by Domenico Veneziano. It was created in Florence ca. 1445-47 A.D. This composition of tempera on a roughly 6 x 7 foot wood panel displays a horizontal scene of Madonna and Child with attending saints and bishops. Designed as an altarpiece, with the intentions of its being displayed before the public, St. Lucy Altarpiece stresses the importance of it’s main characters; Madonna and Child. Veneziano stresses his motives of bringing attention towards Madonna and Child by using physical light and darkness, space, perspective, and even the subjects within the painting to communicate their importance.

It is a 17 ft marble statue representing the Biblical hero David. The statue was publicly unveiled on September 8 1504, it was originally meant to be placed on the roof of Florence’s Cathedral Duomo but that became something they weren’t able to do because of its size and mass. The original location the statue was placed was in the public square outside the Palazzo della Signoria. However, in 1873 it was moved to the Galleria dell’ Academia and in 1910 it was replaced by a replica in the public square. Once the statue was unveiled it quickly became a symbol of defense of civil liberties embodied in the Republic of Florence. In 1499 Michelangelo was asked by the consuls of the Guild of Wool to complete an unfinished project started 40 years earlier. The project was started by Agostino di Duccio to create a colossal statue of David as a symbol of Florentine freedom, and the project was eventually given to Michelangelo to complete. Luckily Michelangelo was the one chosen to complete the project or the amazing statue that we all know and love toady wouldn’t be the

Michelangelo painted a Holy Family on a round shape panel for the rich Florentine merchant Doni in approximately 1506. This painting is the only panel unanimously attributed to Michelangelo and it is best known as “Doni Tondo”. The traditional Florentine generally celebrated the birth of the child by using round panels. It was painted after the sculpture of “David”. It clearly reflects the experience of Michelangelo as a sculptor in the colors which shaped the volumes. The figures of this painting are almost like sculptures with clear outlines of the bodies. The use of the colors in this painting is perfectly coherent with the bright colors of the Sistine ceiling.

His hands work quickly and delicately to complete this work of art. Every chiseled muscle would be as smooth as silk, each hair a perfect curl. Sweat dripped from his face and his heart pounded rapidly in his chest as he stepped back to see what he had created. Two years- two long years to finish this piece. What will the result be? He worried that all his work would have been for nothing. Tears swelled in his eyes as he gazed at his work. It was spectacular. The marble seemed to faintly glow in the afternoon sun.

Only after a year Michelangelo was offered an extraordinary opportunity to study classical sculpture in the Medici gardens.Michelangelo fled to Bologna after the death of Lorenzo the Magnificent’s death, where he continued his study.In 1495 he moved back to Florence in 1495 to begin work as a sculptor, modeling his style after masterpieces of classical antiquity. In 1498 he moved to rome where he got commissioned by Jean Bilhères de La Graulas, a representative of the French King Charles VIII to the pope, where he did the statue pieta. Upon completion he moved back to Florence where he was now seen as a prominent figure in the art industry, soon after he moved back he started work on the statue of david.After this he really blew up getting asked to do works such as decorating the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the creation of adam. After a brief illness, Michelangelo in 1564, coincidentally he is one of the only artists during this time to see the popularity of his art during his lifetime.
