Michelangelo | Renaissance Artist (#)
„From 1508 until 1512 Michelangelo worked on his most famous project, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican. He had always considered himself a sculptor and resisted painting the Sistine with characteristic vehemence: "I cannot live under pressures from patrons, let alone paint." Only the power of the Pope Julius II forced him into the reluctant achievement of the world's greatest single fresco. He covered the ceiling with paintings done on wet plaster, showing nine scenes from the Old Testament. Michelangelo later painted "The Last Judgment" on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel.“

„Beth Justus, co-owner of Chapel Hill, N.C.-based Caffe Driade, says that in the summer, between 50 and 75 percent of her sales come from iced coffee drinks. In the winter, the demand is still significant, with about 25 percent ordering their coffees on the rocks. In the colder, "mile-high" climate of Denver, Colo., things are a little different. Katy Hogoboom, retail manager of The Allegro caf, says her demand trickles down to about three iced coffee drinks a month during colder season.“

„He saw the television coverage and decided to depict Bin Laden as Satan for the fresco in the Defence Ministry's Orthodox chapel in the western city of Timisoara. "I was working on the images for 'Descent into Hell', when I saw the terrorist attacks on the America, and people were saying it was the apocalypse and Hell on earth," the newspaper Evenimentul Zilei quoted him as saying. In the painting, Osama Bin Laden carries the Devil's fork and is riding an airplane through the flames of Hell towards the World Trade Center - the main target of the 11 September hijackers.“
