Michelangelo is known for his frescoes, which are a type of painting that uses wet plaster to create the final product. Michelangelo’s frescoes have been widely admired throughout history, and they are some of the most iconic paintings of the Renaissance.
Michelangelo used a limited palette of colors in his frescoes. He relied heavily on shades of blue, green, and brown. This allowed him to create a sense of depth in his paintings by using subtle variations in color.
Michelangelo used a chiaroscuro technique in his frescoes. Chiaroscuro refers to the way in which he used contrasts between light and dark to create dramatic effects within the paintings.
He often painted scenes from the Bible. These scenes often depicted dramatic moments from stories like Adam and Eve or David and Goliath; these moments were often chosen because they were important events in biblical history as well as moments that could be easily understood by viewers who may not have had much knowledge about Christianity at the time (or even today).
Michelangelo’s frescoes are characterized by their realism; he often depicted people who looked like real people rather than idealized versions of them (like many artists tended to do at that time).
