WebMuseum: Michelangelo
"Having just celebrated its tenth birthday, Nicolas Pioch’s WebMuseum is one of the oldest online art collections. Although the commentary is uneven, visit to view seven annotated Michelangelo artworks. Best click is the Renaissance link, which provides an overview of the "rebirth" era, and articles on other Renaissance artists, including Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael and Titian. If the site is slow, try viewing it from one of its eleven mirror locations, which you will find listed under the Mirrors link at the very bottom of every page."

Web Museum: La Renaissance
"The Web Museum first opened its virtual doors in 1994, and has since displayed millions of gigabytes of art to the Internet public. La Renaissance tackles the era and its artists country-by-country: Italy, The Netherlands, Germany and France. Each country and artist is briefly annotated by volunteer contributors, but the primary reason to visit is to view the artwork. Click on any of the thumbnails for a larger view. "

Web Gallery of Art: Michelangelo
"The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture of the Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods (1150-1800), currently containing over 11,600 reproductions. Best features are the image gallery and free postcards. Both are accessed from the small Pictures button in the upper left-hand corner of the Michelangelo biography page. To send an electronic postcard, first enter a specific gallery (such as Sculptures, Paintings, or Drawings), and then click the Postcard button at the very bottom of the page. Now choose your image by clicking on it."

Surfing the Net with Kids: The Renaissance
"During the Middle Ages (a period of European history which began in the fifth century), art and learning was centered on theology. But at the start of the fourteenth century, thinkers and artists turned their eye toward humanity. The Renaissance had begun."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Michelangelo Buonarroti
"Michelangelo, born in Caprese, Italy in 1475, was one of the most important artists of the Renaissance. His well-known works include Piet (a marble statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus after the crucifixion), the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, and David (a marble statue of the Jewish king.) In addition to being a sculptor and painter, he also excelled as an architect and poet."

Surfing the Net with Kids: Gargoyles
"My readers always keep me informed when there is something I should see on the Net. This topic was suggested by Walter S. Arnold, a sculptor from Chicago who makes his living carving stone creatures. Silly me, I replied "There couldn’t possibly be five good Internet sites about gargoyles." "To the contrary", he said, and pointed me to his resource list. Starting with his recommendations, I did a little research of my own and compiled this list of the top gargoyle sites for families."
