Classical Art demoralisme deemed to contain many, among the many elements of eroticism and gayisme (coincidence models of many works of art are in the church is male.)
This makes trying to get out of the influence of Michelangelo's Florence, and try menersukan profession in Venice, and Bologna. But in these two cities, no one who knows the greatness of the name of Michelangelo.

In addition, during the Medici homosexuality has become a common culture, although still considered immoral. He was never involved in romance with one of his noble men.
But still there is a note of the proximity to Vittoria Colonna, one of the model studies. But this relationship is considered only a close friend because of Vittoria Colonna is one of the few women in the Renaissance who have high knowledge in science.
Perfectionist nature seen in many works of Michelangelo, one of which criticized Faun sculpture by Lorenzo de Medici. Michelangelo's willing to destroy the teeth of Faun to meet the wishes of Lorenzo de Medici to make the sculpture look old.
One small mistake ever made after that is the statue of Bacchus. The statue was designed with no attention to the possibility of defects in raw materials. As a result, face blackened statue is visible cracks.
