Moses Michelangelo

Michelangelo was an Italian Sculptor, painter, poet, and architect who is most famous for his magnificent works such as the Pieta and David. He is considered one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance. One of Michelangelo's works was Moses, a statue made out of marble that shows Moses seated on an ornamental niche. Moses is depicted strong, with tension and anger throughout his body and face. His gaze in the sculpture was very intense to draw all attention. Under the arm of Moses sits the 10 commandments signifying he delivers God's laws to the people. It is said that Michelangelo thought this was his most life like work, to the extent that when he finished the statue he proclaimed, "Now Speak!"
