Entry #7 Mon. 7/20

Michelangelo (Orange, personal favorite) -- Leornardo (Blue) -- Donatello (Purple) -- Raphael (Red)

Now all these weapon-wielding, mutated, teenage turtles were actually real 16th century artists. Donatello actually came about in the early Renaissance, and the other three were around for the late Renaissance. I'm not sure however, if the different personalities of each ninja turtle do indeed reflect the style of each artist. For example, in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV show, Donatello is portrayed as the technologically-inclined turtle. He is good with his hands, maybe to reflect the real Donatello's sculptures. But then again, the real Michelangelo was a great sculptor too, and the turtle version is simply a wild, pizza-eating, "CoWaBuNgA!"-yelling, skateboarding turtle... with nun-chuks.
