Question:

What would Michelangelo the painter of the Sistine Chapel wear?

Its for a school project. Anything would help.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

He probably wore leggings, boots and a blousey shirt with a tunic over it and perhaps even a leather apron. He probably covered his head to protect his hair from paint.

Perhaps he dressed like #3 or #4 in the costume image linked below.

I've also provided a link to Hollywoods' version of the period in the film "The Agony and The Ecstasy". You can get an idea from the few photos displayed.
