His numerous works displayed extraordinary ideal processing based on realism, becoming a typical symbol of the entire era. His artistic creation was deeply influenced by humanist thought and the Reformation movement, often expressing the patriotism and struggle for freedom of the bourgeoisie class in a realistic and romantic way. Michelangelo poured his tragic passion into his artistic works, which was expressed in a grand and magnificent form. The heroes he created were both symbols of ideals and reactions of reality. All these made his artistic creation a peak that could not be surpassed in Western art history.
