Abstract

The brilliant painter, sculptor, architect and poem writer of the Italian Renaissance, Michelangelo Buonarroti (Fig. 1) documented his own life, habits and diseases [1]. Between 1508 and 1512, he painted the vault of the Sistine Chapel and described his demanding work in a poem addressed to Giovanni da Pistoia. Lying supine all day on a high scaffold, his head was bent forwards using muscle contractions and support for hours with paint dripping on his face [1]. After two years (1510), he had trouble with his eyes.
