Michelangelo had four brothers. He was the second in line when he was born March 6, 1475. His family moved to Florence while he was an infant and it did not take his father long to find out that not all of his sons shared his interest in their financial business nor the grammar school nearby. Thus, at age 13, Michelangelo was apprenticed to the fresco painter Ghirlandaio, one of Florence’s best. He, in turn, exposed Michelangelo to much that was good and helpful in his development as an artist.
