Michelangelo (1475-1564) is one of the "Three Renaissance Masters" in Italy, a famous sculptor, painter and architect. The representative of the highest peak of sculpture art in Renaissance.
His artistic creation combines realism with romantic fantasy, and the figure statues are magnificent and full of infinite power. Painting does not stick to the plot of religious stories, but focuses on expressing people's essential strength and inner world. Representative works include David, Genesis, Moses and Slave.

Moses' attitude is that of a leader. He held his head high, his eyes were bright, and his right leg was bent, as if to lift his feet and stand up. Teeth clenched tightly, as if to swallow something.
Many critics are scrambling to guess which stage of Moses' life this artist represents, but their arguments are not good for us. The horn on Moses' head is also the object of endless debate among knowledgeable art historians. In Latin, the horn is a symbol of "strength" in a sense. Perhaps it is for this reason that Michaelis adopted this twig node, which made Moses' attitude more eccentric, weird and rude.
Eyes are big and beautiful, fixed and looking straight, emitting a flame-like light. Short hair, like a figure on the Sistine Chapel; The beard hangs straight like a wave, so long that it needs to be brushed by hand.
Arms and hands like those of an old man; Vascular protrusion; But his hands are long and beautiful, completely different from Donatello's. Huge knees seem to be out of place with other parts of the body, that is, the knees and legs that run from Egypt to Palestine. They occupy a quarter of the whole body area.
His clothes, like Michaelis' other works, are pure fiction; It exists not for realism, but to meet the needs of modeling foil. Because of these folds, the strength of the legs is more obvious; The volume of the lower part of the statue has also increased, making the overall foundation more solid.
