Besides Leonardo, the two other greatest names belong to Raphael and Michelangelo. RAPHAEL RAPHAEL SANZIO WAS BORN IN URBINO, ITALY, ON APRIL 6, 1483. HE FIRST LEARNED TO DRAW FROM HIS ARTIST FATHER. WHEN HE WAS TWENTY-ONE, HE WENT TO FLORENCE, WHERE HE STUDIED THE WORKS OF LEONARDO AND MICHELANGELO. IN HIS DAY, RAPHAEL WAS THE MOST POPULAR PAINTER. HIS LOVELY PICTURES OF MARY

除了列奥纳多，另外两个最伟大的名字是拉斐尔和米开朗基罗。 拉斐尔·桑齐奥于1483年4月6日出生于意大利乌尔比诺。 他最初是从他的画家父亲那里学会画画的。 21岁时，他去了佛罗伦萨，在那里他学习了列奥纳多和米开朗基罗的作品。 在他那个时代，拉斐尔是最受欢迎的画家。 他给玛丽拍的可爱照片

LATER IN HIS CAREER, HE WORKED IN ROME FOR THE SAME POPE AS MICHELANGELO. RAPHAEL PAINTED TWO GIANT FRESCOES. ONE IS CALLED THE SCHOOL OF ATHENS, WHICH PORTRAYS THE GREAT THINKERS OF ANCIENT GREECE. PLATO AND ARISTOTLE STAND IN THE CENTER. SADLY, RAPHAEL DIED YOUNG, ON HIS THIRTYSEVENTH BIRTHDAY.

MICHELANGELO MICHELANGELO'S FULL NAME WAS MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI. HE WAS BORN IN CAPRESE, ITALY, IN 1475. HE HAD A LONG AND SUCCESSFUL CAREER. BUT HE DIDN'T CONSIDER PAINTING HIS TRUE CALLING. HE THOUGHT OF HIMSELF AS A SCULPTOR FIRST. HE LOVED WORKING IN

米开朗基罗的全名是米开朗基罗。 1475年，他出生在意大利的卡普雷塞。 他的职业生涯漫长而成功。 但他没有考虑到绘画是他真正的职业。 他最初认为自己是个雕塑家。 他喜欢在

BEAUTIFUL ITALIAN MARBLE. BESIDES HIS FAMOUS STATUE, DAVID, IN FLORENCE, ANOTHER OF HIS GREAT WORKS IS ONE OF MARY HOLDING THE BODY OF JESUS. IT IS CALLED THE PIETà AND WAS COMPLETED WHEN HE WAS ONLY TWENTY-THREE. THE PIETà IS FILLED WITH A SAD TENDERNESS, BUT MICHELANGELO IS MAINLY KNOWN FOR CREATING STRONG, MUSCULAR FIGURES.

漂亮的意大利大理石。除了他在佛罗伦萨的著名雕像大卫，他的另一个伟大作品是玛丽抱着耶稣的身体。 这幅画被称为《圣像》，是他在23岁时完成的。 这幅画充满了悲伤的温柔，但米开朗基罗主要以创作强壮、肌肉发达的人物而闻名。

FOR A SCULPTOR, HOWEVER, HE IS MOST FAMOUS FOR PAINTING THE ENTIRE CEILING OF A CHAPEL FOR THE POPE IN ROME: THE CEILING OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL. IT TOOK HIM FOUR YEARS, WORKING ON A SCAFFOLD SIXTY FEET IN THE AIR. THE FRESCO COVERS THE STORIES IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
