Michelangelo Di Lodovico Buonarroti Simon was a versatile artistic genius who worked as a sculptor, painter, architecture, and a poet. He is mostly known as a famous sculptor, painter, and architect. And one of the ways that he became famous was he made sculptures, and paintings for rich people.

One of the ways I think he is a hero is because a painting he did of the frescoes for the Sistine Chapel. He is heroic for that because those paintings took him 20 years to make in the church of Sistine chapel.

Another reason I think Michelangelo is heroic is for the painting, Creation of Adam. One way I think that is why he is heroic is because that painting is very expensive right now. He created genius paintings for the Christian religion.

Another of my ways of saying that I think he is heroic is because he made several paintings that took him many hours, days, weeks, months, or even years to create. Also he has made weird looking ones, and nice pretty ones.

My last and final way I think he is heroic is because I read a book that said he didn’t care about the money or fame, he just liked the act of painting and sculpture. He was also very heroic by being a man of patience and concentration.
