Michelangelo could have portrayed the image of "David" in a much more traditional way as most artist would have down by representing David as a winner with Goliath's head at his feat. However he presents the youthfulness in David's face, his body is that of a young mans. Michelangelo tends to steer clear of the over exaggerated muscular proportions of the body he is well known for doing in paintings. Instead he depicts "David" in the light in which he would have been seen a brave young warrior.

THE PAINTING OF THE LAST JUDGMENT:.
The Last Judgment, was another of Michelangelo most famous pieces of work. What is noticeable within this painting is Michelangelo ability to show the way the body moved, as well as displaying passion and grief within the images. This is why many suggest the Last judgment to be Michelangelo most intriguing work. It was in 1534 when Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the last judgment on the alter wall of the Sistine chapel. By this time Michelangelo had already painted the ceiling of the Sistine chapel about 28 years before, however what is interesting is the style in which the painting of the last judgment was produce, what is noticeable is that the style is different from the works on the ceiling. The central figure of Christ in the painting was not depicted as one would have thought throughout the renaissance period, Christ is portrayed unsympathetic to the damned. This can be seen with the image of Christ as a judge who's right arm is raised to show his authority or it could be seen to be the hand of damnation. In the last judgment Christ seems to be painted in a much more brighter light than even the angels to suggest his superiority. In the painting Michelangelo poses many questions which needs to be answered. For instance Michelango depicts St Peter as a large man holding within his hand a key. This may suggest that he is asking Christ who he is to open the gates of heaven too.
