Unlike Michelangelo he wasn't:
- a sculptor
- an architect
- a poet
- or a military engineer
Michelangelo only had one real passion: sculpture. He was later asked to do the other works, like the Chapel, and if you notice it's clearly visible the "sculptor" style transfer to the paintings. That's not the case of Caravaggio.
But a much better painter. Which is the one thing he did.
I think it's just getting at the fact that he was also called Michelangelo. Not a great title though I'll agree.
The amount of whoosh in this thread near blew my hat off. I know we're not supposed to bitch about people not reading the article, but it's an interesting phenomenon in its own right that a spike of pseudo-pedants showed up who are (1) ignorant of the name connection and (2) blatantly dismissed the article without reading the first paragraph, which would have explained it.
