In later years he was sent away to the Humanist academy where got introduced to another form of art i.e. sculptor. As he aged, Michelangelo spent most of his time in Italy, including a significant periods in Rome. It was in Florence in 1504 that he created one of his two most famous works that are remembered as a master piece even in today's times.
One of Michelangelo Buonarroti most famous and prestigious artworks have been that of a commissioned work to paint the ceiling within Sistine Chapel. He started this job in the year 1508 and it took four years for him to complete the task in a pure masterly manner. This work of his considered by many to be along with the statue of David to be among the most significant works of art that we still have in the world. After seeing his wonderful work of art on the ceiling the church authorities also awarded him a prestigious task to create the Pope's Tomb, to work on the Basilica of San Lorenzo, and to work again on the Sistine Chapel to create "The Last Judgement". He was also the architect who completed the design of St. Peters Basilica in the Vatican.
