Michelangelo
David's sculptor, notably
Michelangelo is the Italian Renaissance artist (1475–1564) whose work defines artistic mastery.
He sculpted the David and the Pietà, painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling, and designed St.
Peter's Basilica dome.
His name serves as shorthand for supreme artistic genius: He's no Michelangelo, but he draws well.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle named after him wields nunchucks.
