Did Michelangelo belong to a art movement/group, and which one?

No, not specifically. Michelangelo (1475-1564) is usually identified as a "High" and "Late" Renaissance artist, owing to his long life and ongoing productivity. He was extremely influential for a variety of 16th-century artists, both within and without Italy, and had a major influence on 16th-century Mannerism, which lasted until the very late years of the century and even into the early years of the 17th. But Michelangelo himself did not belong to a "movement," and his admiring contemporaries did not slot him into one. He was regarded as "sui generis." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelangelo Apr 20 06, 7:31 PM
