There are a lot of new blocks of flats on the outskirts of Moscow. There is no teacher of French in the school at the moment. There is some milk in the cup. Drink it up. There are a lot of first-year students in the lecture room. There is little salt in the soup, add some more. There are a few chairs in the classroom, bring a few more from the next room. There are a few mistakes in your test. There is little information on this town in the guide-book. There are few mistakes in your dictation this time, I’m glad for you. There is no news about the missing bag yet. There is a little ice-cream left in the fridge. Have some if you like.
Michelangelo Buonarroti was one of the most famous artists in history. He was a painter, a sculptor, an architect, and a poet. He created some of the world's most beautiful and most famous paintings and statues.
Michelangelo was born in 1475 in a small Italian town near Florence. At the age of twelve, he was apprenticed to Ghirlandaio, a well-known Italian artist.
He learned to draw by copying other artists' paintings. He soon became interested in sculpture, too. At the age of 21, he went to Rome, and began to create the works of art that made him famous all over the world.
Michelangelo's first great work was the Pieta for St Peter's Cathedral. This statue shows Jesus Christ in the arms of the Virgin Mary after his death on the cross.
Michelangelo then went to Florence, where he produced his famous statue of David. It is 18 feet high and carved from a solid piece of marble. The statue is so lifelike that it seems ready to spring into action. We have a copy of this statue in the Pushkin Fine Arts Museum.
At the age of 30 Michelangelo was called to Rome and for the next 30 years he worked there for a succession of Popes.
In 1508, he began painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. He spent more than two years painfully lying on his back on a scaffold, painting the figures and Biblical scenes on half of the ceiling. After a long rest, he completed the second half in about a year. People consider the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel to be one of the world's greatest and most amazing works of art.
Michelangelo embodied the perfect multi-talented Renaissance man. His influence on later artists is immense.
