He was an wonderful artist. I have seen his work in person and it is hard to believe that a human could do what he did. Reports state he was hard to work with, he was a loner in some respects, and aperfectionist When I saw the Sistine Chapel in Rome it was as if the figures were moving and 3 dimensional . I saw it 30 years ago before it was cleaned, but now that it is cleaned it is beyond words. Seeing it again was worth the trip. He changed art and brought his neoPlatoic philosophy to his art. His figures are muscular, the clothing moves with them, and his flesh tones are the color of flesh. He once stated that when he carved marble he only let the figures out of the marble and at 71 years old when asked about life he said he was "still learning."
