Michelangelo riched the highest step of his glory, when he was called to Rome, for decorating pope's Iuliu 2nd's grave.
Michelangelo accepted right away, because, finally he had the opportunity to fulfil his dream: to make a huge work, to put all his talent in there. But, unfortunately, with all the good pieces of advice of Giuliano Sangallo, the pope listened to envious artists, like Bramate, and concealed the contract.

Michelangelo got very furious. His patience was too hard tried. He left Rome without any word. The pope felt sorry for offending such an artist and looked for him. The reconciliation took place in Bologna, 1506. Michelangelo made a statue of Iuliu II, there, in Bologna, but it would be destroyed in 1511. Finally Michelangelo returned to Rome, where, his friend Giuliano Sagnallo convinced all that Michelangelo is the man. Only Michelangelo could paint the 'Valut of the Sixtine Chapel'. The envious artists also believed that Michelangelo should paint the Valut. The thought that Michelangelo would not accept (he was a sculptor) and offence the pope.

If Michelangelo would accept, they were sure that he would never be capable of such great work. They were all wrong. Although against his will, Michelangelo accepted. He started in May, 1508. He worked without any help, far away from the outside world.
There was some information, which said that at first Michelangelo had to paint only a little part of the Valut. But Iuliu II was irritated by Michelangelo's pressing. The great artist told him over and over that the Valut was empty and pour, and he would never let it like that. Thence Iuliu II said his famous words: "Do what you want!". And Michelangelo did what he wanted.

On the 31st of October, 1512, the 'Valut of the Sixtin Chapel' was open. Thousands of people crossed themselves in front of a miracle.
The Valut meant very much. Michelangelo's genius was recognized by all. But the glory was nothing for Michelangelo. He had a lonely life and the only joy he could have was to make pope Iuliu II's grave. But life had a new blow: the pope died, on the 21st of February 1513. There were a lot of discussions for the grave and new contracts between Michelangelo and Iuliu II's will performances. « mai multe referate din Drept
