From beginning to end, he maintained a noble belief-the name of the noble family in Florence. However, he is a timid person who despises the powerful and yet gives in. When he was forced to stop every escape, he always went back to the powerful and accomplished the work entrusted to him by them.
He is a rich man, but he lives a very simple life. He hated his nephew for teasing his inheritance, but he continued to seek a decent life like Beethoven for his nephew. He loves simplicity and truth in life, and he can give beggars thousands of gold coins.
He has been depressed about love all his life, because he is short and ugly, and people with beauty are idols in his heart. He can only crawl on the ground and look up at those who admire him. Coupled with the guilt of his own lust, he is grumpy, distressed and self-abased, self-destructive and narcissistic. This mentality is too much like that sentence written by Zhang Ailing.
In addition to love, he was frustrated at work and was traumatized physically and mentally. He has an agreement with Archbishop Medici to build a church, which is a relatively large project with rich returns. However, due to the deception of the construction workers, several stones were broken. So the Pope and the Archbishop became impatient and canceled their contracts with him.
Michelangelo could only complain with tears: "I don't count the past three years, I don't count myself bankrupt for work, I don't count myself as an insult, I was ordered to do it at once, and I don't want to do it at once ..."
This kind of experience is still happening in our modern times. At the beginning, you said you would change it, but you were not satisfied. You should continue to change it. As a result, you changed people, and many literary and art workers were tortured by customers and collapsed.
Everything went wrong, and Michelangelo's father didn't let him feel at ease. The older his father gets, the worse his temper becomes. One day, he simply ran out of Fei Lengcui's house, claiming that his son had driven him away. Michelangelo was accused of being unfilial and full of grievances.
After reading the whole book, there are real secular troubles: entanglements in love, career blows, and occupational diseases that kill health. Michelangelo was always desperate, unwilling to live, unable to live, and always complaining about the world. "I have more worries than art!" However, when facing the stone, his attention shifted, his pain was temporarily relieved, and he was encouraged to continue working.
Romain rolland asked himself in the postscript: Should I only reveal the heroic elements of heroes? No.
Because romain rolland's original intention in writing this biography is: "Not all ordinary people can survive at the peak, but they can bow their heads once a year to gain the courage to fight daily."
This passage is quite enlightening to the naked eye. If translated into a popular understanding, it means that the owner is still working hard after living so badly. Should we also inspire his fighting spirit? Don't be completely defeated by life.
But Michelangelo himself is just the opposite of what Roman Roland said. There are more sufferings in the world than Michelangelo experienced, and most people have not made outstanding creations. There is the brightest lightning in the night, but the night is not made for lightning.
Michelangelo prayed for peace of mind and body all his life. In his life, most of his works are full of muscle strength, anger, or solemn beauty, which embodies the spirit of creating everything. However, the last three sculptures with the theme of Christ's later years are extremely sad.
In his poems in his later years, he wrote: "What will happen to my empty and happy artistic love in the past? /When the death of body and soul is gradual ... neither painting nor sculpture can calm my soul/sacred love, who is looking forward to the cross/holding me in your arms with open arms. " .
His depiction of David is like struggling in marble, showing the perfection of tenacious life. His hammer has a sound. When you stare at it for a long time, it seems to move slowly in front of your eyes and tell us what God means. Michelangelo experienced fighting, abandonment and death in his life.
The strength, love and self-confidence he once possessed eventually led to collapse, despair, loneliness and death. But he smiled. If, as he said, pain is endless, it has various forms. Sometimes, it is because of material malaria, such as disaster, disease, madness of fate and human malice. Sometimes, it is hidden in people's hearts. In this case, people don't want to be born, and they don't want to be what they become. Michelangelo's pain is like this. He cherishes pain, and he knows how to look at the real face of the world-and love it. If we can appreciate it, we will know the beauty of life.
Christ must suffer, and so must life. This outstanding sculptor and painter in the Middle Ages finally stepped into sorrow after a long internal struggle. Only when people accept all the pain will sadness appear. As Freud said, sadness is a commemoration of the past.
People will be sad and then calm.
