Detailed explanation-1: -Michelangelo’s most famous works have to be his Pieta, his sculpture of David, and his painting of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, both of which reside in Italy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Michelangelo was active mainly in Florence and Rome, two major cultural and political centers in fifteenth-and sixteenth-century Europe. He received the support of important patrons, including members of the ruling Medici family of Florence and, for a crucial decade, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Julius II.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are almost 200 known works (sculptures, paintings, and drawings) by Michelangelo. Judging from the number of sculptures he left unfinished, Michelangelo was a true perfectionist who frequently abandoned projects when he deemed them not up to his own standard.
