I got to travel for work to Italy and was blessed to stand at the feet of Michelangelo’s David. There are no words to describe it. Nothing compares.

The moment was slightly ruined by a bunch of Japanese that were taking pictures while being chased by Italians screaming “No Photo! No Photo!”

I've been lucky enough to visit the Sistine Chapel three of four times. The guides repeatedly tell every 'no photos'. Once you're in though just about everyone is holding up a cell phone or a camera.

My personal favorite Michelangelo is his Moses located in the San Pietro in Vincoli church. It is an absolutely breathtaking sculpture.

That were works of true masters, the likes of which we never see any more.

What passes for “art” these days is a pathetic joke.
