Michelangelo

Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475–1564) war ein italienischer Bildhauer, Maler, Baumeister und Dichter der Hochrenaissance, der vor allem in Florenz und Rom wirkte. Bekannt für biblische Bildwerke wie die Fresken der Sixtinischen Kapelle und die Skulptur des David, verstand er künstlerische Schönheit als Abglanz göttlicher Schöpfung, rief jedoch mit den Nacktdarstellungen im „Jüngsten Gericht“ auch kirchliche Kritik hervor. Für Bibelleser spiegeln seine Werke und späten Gedichte die theologische Auseinandersetzung mit Gottes Schöpfungshandeln sowie das persönliche Ringen um Gnade und Erlösung am Kreuz wider.
