Michelangelo. 

The famous painter lived in Florence. He was well-known in Italy for his beautiful work. Michelangelo was a famous sculptor. Once the governor asked Michelangelo to make a statue out of a large piece of marble. The fact was that the sculptor had tried to do that before but it wasn't a success. Michelangelo worked for 2 years on the statue called "David" and once it was finished they put in the square of the city. But the governor didn't like the statue because he thought its nose was too long. The artist came to the statue with a hand full of marble dust to please the governor. He pretended to be changing the shape of the nose. The people understood that Michelangelo hadn't changed anything in the statue. The governor thought that the marble dust that Michelangelo had dropped was from the nose of the statue and then he seemed to like the statue better.

Without a doubt, this statue is one of Michelangelo's best works. Michelangelo wasn't a very good sculptor but he knew how to please those who didn't know much about sculpture. The governor was a silly man and understood nothing about the sculpture.
