When Michelangelo told his father of this request and his wish to be apprenticed by the Ghirlandaio brothers, his father went into a rage. Nonetheless, Michelangelo ran away and became an apprentice at the home of Domenico Ghirlandaio at the age of thirteen. He became unsatisfied with the Ghirlandaio brother's teachings because he felt that he wasn't being taught how to paint. Thus, after only two years, left to apprentice under the influence of sculptor Bertoldo di Giovanni. While he was painting in the Medici gardens, Lorenzo de' Medici (also known as Lorenzo the Magnificent) himself saw Michelangelo hard at work, and invited him to come work
in 1488 (2). His father finally agreed on the terms that if the apprenticeship didn’t work after the three years that he would return to studies and take over the family business (4).

He stood out the most to me because he had some of the most beautiful work I have ever seen. He painted some of the most beautiful building that is still around today. One of the most that I enjoyed looking at was the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. It took him a lot of time to paint the entire building. I feel this was his best piece of art ever. He had many accomplishments that were outstanding.

When he told his father about wanting to become an artist/sculptor, his father was not happy and even beat him to try and get some sense into him. His father wanted him to do something more noble, like how his father worked with a business.

He then started doing more and more works of art, and started getting more recognition. Before he knew it, he had made some of the best works of art.
