Overwinter when I reorganize the art history portion of my library I'll keep an eye out for the name in question, t. And as I think of it, it may have been a chapel of a monastery owned by a super-rich guy.

Considering his stature, there is remarkably little that survives from his life's work such that some have opined that everything he attempted was virtuoso. Very few sketches, crude drawings, etc. For an outright genius who created for the most part uninterruptedly from his toddler years to his death 90-something years later, Michelangelo never seems to have needed to practice anything.

His father was a stone mason from whom Michelangelo learned to love stone. The smart people around him immediately recognized his genius.

That is the primary difference between he and I.
