I believe that Michelangelo answered this best by only signing two works in his lifetime: His Pieta' at the Vatican, which he completed in his early twenties, and the Sistine Chapel ceiling, which he was basically forced into painting by Pope Julius II, which he signed "Michelangelo, the sculptor" after having spent almost five years laboring with it.
But he was truly an artist, contibuting greatly to the world of sculpture, painting, and architecture.

he's between the tremendous adult males of the Rennaisance. basically, people were burning one yet another on the stake and not in any respect ever ever bathing for about one thousand years, earlier people remembered they did not might want to attempt this a lot. The roof of the Sistene Chapel in Vatican city become one in all his maximum favourite, yet he purely did it because the pope made him. He loved sculpting, in my opinion. that is why the David is yet another huge artwork of his.

interesting, i thought the title of "artist" would have been good enuff... most can probably do both tho, while they may not test the waters...
