"If people understood how hard I had developed to work to gain my mastery, it could not appear so wonderful at all." (Michelangelo) A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history's most influential statistics, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees and shrubs? When historians are asked to choose a point ever sold when American civilization was altered and led down the road to modernity, most of them indicate the Renaissance. Indeed the Renaissance revolutionized skill, philosophy, religion, sciences, and math, with individuals like Galileo, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Dante, and Petrarch bridging days gone by and modern society. In Charles River Editors' Legends of the Renaissance, listeners can get caught up to rate on the lives of the most important women and men of the Renaissance in the time it takes to complete a commute, while learning interesting facts long neglected or never known. It's possible that Michelangelo is the most famous artist ever sold, but it is also possible that he's an underrated musician. The vast affect of his career is shown by the fact that he is not only known for his own skill but has also come to embody an entire epoch of American skill. Along with Leonardo da Vinci, there are no other music artists who so completely capture the nature of technological and artistic finding that characterized skill during the late 15th and early 16th centuries.
