![]() The apprentices accept Michaelangelo as a buddy, but he does not feel he fits into fresco painting. The rest believe he is disgracing the family name.Īt the Ghirlandaio studio, Michaelangelo meets the other apprentices and learns all he can. Only his grandmother defends him in his choice to be an artist. The upper-class family has five sons but little money. In the Buonarroti home, his stepmother cooks all day while his father worries over his account books. Michaelangelo explains the only way he will be able to persuade his father is if he can earn six florins a year from Ghirlandaio! The master is ready to say no, but the boy is so sure of himself, he gives in. Ghirlandaio says he will start Michaelangelo for the price of six florins a year and his father’s permission. Ghirlandaio suspects he had studied with his rival, Rosselli, but Michaelangelo says he has only learned from copying Giotto and Masaccio in the churches. He tells him to sketch for him, and Michaelangelo quickly sketches the whole studio. Michaelangelo is direct and self-confident, and Ghirlandaio responds to him. The master says he starts boys at the age of ten where has Michaelangelo been for three years? The boy answers that he had to waste time studying Greek and Latin at his father’s order. In the Guild studio, sleepy apprentices sit under the supervision of their master Ghirlandaio, who is forty and one of the most successful and busy artists in Florence. He takes him to the studio of the master on his birthday to apply as an apprentice there. Granacci has secretly been encouraging the young Michaelangelo in his passion for drawing. His four brothers are sleeping in the room, and he waits to hear the whistle of his friend, Francesco Granacci, a nineteen-year-old apprentice of Ghirlandaio. The story opens in the Buonaratti home in Florence, Italy, in March of 1488, where the thirteen-year-old Michaelangelo sits in front of a bedroom mirror sketching his own lean face and finding it ugly and out of proportion. Book One is Michaelangelo’s experience as an apprentice in the studio of fresco painter, Ghirlandaio. You hold twelve weapons, the twelve 'paasa' and the 'ankusamum.Each book illustrates one part of the artist’s life and consists of several short numbered scenes. You who assumed Lordship over me, in your twelve hands Salutations are offered to the brave War Lord of the Devas in their battle against the Asuras. Salutations are offered to the brave Lord of Saravana Poykai, who is approaching on His vahana, the peacock. Thus, He is also refered to as 'Lord Saravanabava'. Lord Muruga embodies the form of these six letters. The six letters of Lord Muruga's name (sa, ra, va, na, ba, va) are interchanged and their interplay gives rise to these rhythms of melody that accompany the graceful approach of the Lord on His peacock. Welcome Lord, whose forehead is adorned with sacred ash,Ĭome every day, Lord of Sira Malai, Lord Velayuthan,Ĭome quickly, Lord of Saravanabava, come now!
