1546, "The greatest creation of the Renaissance"

In the year 1546, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni,
                                                                          [was appointed architect to St. Peter's Basilica, Rome.

To replace the Constantinian basilica, of the 4th century, successive architects had worked,
   [but little progress had been made, so Michelangelo made his workplace really a second home.


He developed his ideas for a centrally planned church, strengthening the structure
         [physically and visually, made a wonderful work but sadly died before finishing the dome.

His admirable work has been called by Banister Fletcher (History of Architecture)
    ["the greatest creation of the Renaissance", and by others a sky of heaven, a divine astrodome.

By common confession he was a unique artist who created works

                                                   [of such sublime beauty his reputation will always be treasured.

Many art critics have held that one can not assess Michelangelo ,

                                                                                              [because it's value cannot be measured.
