Michelangelo's Moses was created between 1513-1515. It is made of marble, and is massive (over 7 ft tall!) This sculpture is extremely life like (a very naturalist characteristic); Michelangelo paid great attention to detail. We can see this through the folds of his robe, the expression on his face, the contour of his muscles, and the ways his body is synonymous with what he is doing. It seems as if Moses is about to get out of his seat. This sculpture was created during the High Renaissance period in Italy.
