His Moses is carved from one block of marble. Michelangelo would say that the figure was all ready in the stone and all he did was free it. Moses shows the human figure with muscles and the drapery on it ripples and folds as if it was real cloth. There is an power in the figure and he seems alive. When I saw it in Italy what struck me was the smoothness of the marble.
