Michelangelo and the

Progression of Renaissance Art
 THESIS
Michelangelo signified a predominant force within
Renaissance Italy’s sweeping artistic changes, his artwork
exemplifying and climaxing the achievements of the era
while indicating a progressive emphasis on human form
and ultimately inspiring subsequent generations to
match his innovation and technique.
