I think it was Ghirlandaio. He was Michelangelo's first mentor of frescoe in Florence. Early teens, I think.

There's a little sort of nondescript church in Florence that has his very first frescoes that Ghirlandaio let him do. They are faded and chipped and damaged by mold and such.

I have never before or since swooned. Not because those frescoes were so inspirational by themselves. But rather becaues I knew I was to soon behold stupendous greatness by a man's hands and mind.
