00:00Michelangelo, el ingenio que chiseled history a titan de marble.

00:05El ingenio en el domino.

00:06El ingenio que se sculptó el mismo.

00:09Hoy, nos viajamos a la parte de la renaissance

00:11para unear la historia de la persona que le dio la vida a stone.

00:15Michelangelo Buonarroti.

00:17Michelangelo, el archetype de la renaissance genius,

00:20fue born en 1475.

00:23Aunque su padre estaba contra él,

00:25el ingenio Buonarroti era más fuerte.

00:28At just 13,

00:30he entered the workshop of the painter Ghirlandeo.

00:33But his true passion was already evident.

00:36Sculpture.

00:37And it was that passion that would lead him to a life-changing encounter.

00:41At 14,

00:42the patron Lorenzo de' Medici discovered his talent.

00:46He took him in as a son in his palace,

00:49giving him access to a vast art collection,

00:51and, most importantly,

00:52to the circle of Neoplatonic philosophers

00:55who met at the Florentine Academy.

00:57Here, Michelangelo absorbed a revolutionary idea.

01:02That man was free to sculpt himself.

01:05Estesu Arte.

01:07This philosophy transformed his art.

01:10For Michelangelo,

01:11sculpting was not about imposing a form,

01:14but about liberating the figure already captive within the marble block.

01:18His hands, guided by an almost divine vision,

01:21became the tools to reveal souls.

01:24Thus, he elevated sculpture from a craft to a sublime act of creation.

01:29With the support of the Medici,

01:30Michelangelo began to forge his legacy.

01:34Works like the Madonna of the Stairs

01:35and the Battle of the Centaurs.

01:38His first reliefs already showed a mastery of human anatomy

01:41and an emotional force that would become his personal hallmark.

01:45The genius, however, did not stop at sculpture.

01:49Posterity had monumental challenges in store for him

01:52that would take him to the summit of art history.

01:55From the Colossal David,

01:57a work that embodied the heroic ideal and civic freedom,

02:00to the moving effusion of pain and serenity in marble.

02:04But it was in Rome,

02:06under a commission from Pope Julius II,

02:08where his genius would erupt on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

02:13Four years of work on scaffolding,

02:14with a crooked neck and fresco dripping onto his face,

02:18earned him one of the most important works in history.

02:21Michelangelo not only sculpted marble,

02:24but also carved the idea that beauty and truth

02:26are inherent to the human condition.

02:29His art is a mirror that reflects our fragility and our greatness.

02:32A legacy that continues to live on,

02:36reminding us that art in his hands

02:38ceased to be an imitation and became a revelation.
