Michelangelo’s career as a sculptor and painter wasn’t handed to him on a silver platter. Although he possessed great talents, his accomplishments and fame came only after he invested himself to the point of physical exhaustion. Michelangelo spent years lying flat on his back on a scaffold painting the fresco in the Sistine Chapel. By the time he completed this magnificent project, he was virtually blind from the paint that had dripped in his eyes. Now that’s commitment! Because Michelangelo was willing to invest himself, he created art that had been admired for more than four centuries.
