Quote of the day by Michelangelo : Art is often seen as something created by the hands, but every painting begins with an idea. Before an artist picks up a brush, there is usually a thought, image or vision guiding what they want to create. Skill helps bring that idea to life, but the thinking behind it can be just as important as the finished work. Italian sculptor and painter Michelangelo understood this connection between creativity and thought. As one of the most celebrated artists of the Italian Renaissance, he worked across painting, sculpture, architecture and poetry. His works continue to be recognised for their artistic skill and powerful visual ideas.
