THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY

The age of Renaissance (1300's-1600's) was the time line that the dramatized Michelangelo's artist lifestyle. The Renaissance was begun by the humanist, scholars who studied Greek and Roman literature during medieval times. Their belief was that Classical societies were far more advanced in science, philosophy, art, and literature. Therefore, they felt it was their duty was to gather this information in order to modernize Europe. The most influential Renaissance study was art, because the Holy Roman Empire found it to be appealing and realistic, thus easier for the Empire to relate to it's people.

Much of what appeared in Irving Stone's biographical novel of the life of Michelangelo (1475-1564) was of the author's invention, but few will dispute that the artist painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, which is the subject of Carol Reed's film "THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY"(1965).

However the film poorly depicted his dissatisfaction towards people and his fear of celebrity hunters that made him live a hermits lifestyle. Therefore, it did not give his lifestyle as part of the reason of the conflict with the Pope.

I've pleased you less the more that I have labored.

The just balance and the powerful sword,

This sonnet compares Michelangelo's relationship to Julius II, as Julius II's relationship is to God and country. In the last metaphor "Give us a dry tree to pluck our fruit" is symbolism of the lack of payment the artist received and related to the Holy unrest of the Pope's warring plight in Europe. Their relationship was of a love/hate nature, due to the Pope's preoccupation of unifying Europe and maintaining control of the Holy Roman Empire.

I am your faithful servant, as of old;
