A culture that neglects the beautiful is a culture that will quickly become disenfranchised with the true and the good.
Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475. He was a sculptor, painter, poet, and architect who radically impacted his time period and the generations to follow. He is best-known for his paintings in the Sistine Chapel of The Last Judgment and of the creation of man found on its ceiling, but his primary focus as an artist was his sculpture pieces.
The life, witness, and legacy of Michelangelo ought to evoke a greater appreciation for art, but, more importantly, it can offer a blueprint for how to be captivated by the true, the good, and the beautiful. Ultimately, our appreciation for truth, goodness, and beauty will only be safeguarded in a worldview that respects faith in God. The more we place value on these three characteristics of existence, the more human we will become.
