<u>It is ironic that Michelangelo's father would fear his son's failure. He even scolded him for pursuing arts instead of academic studies. Why is it ironic? Because Michelangelo (1475 - 1564) not only did not fail, but he was such an amazing artist that his name remains as one of the most famous in the world. His expertise was such that he is seen by many as a rival of Leonardo Da Vinci, since they both developed their knowledge and abilities in several different fields. Michelangelo is probably most famous nowadays for his frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in Rome. He was also an incredible sculptor - David being one of his greatest works.</u>
