His abilities as a painter and sculptor were unsurpassed in his day. While many studied under him and assisted him with the painting of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican, and sculpting many of his marble creations, none equaled him as an artist.

I believe his most auspicious contribution was giving the Christian faith it’s concept of what God looked like. The fresco’s of the Sistine Chapel depict his version of God, possibly modeled after the Greek God Zeus, the act of Creation, the depiction of angels, the saints and all the mythology surrounding the stories in the Bible, have had a long lasting and misguided impact of the Christian religion. While beautifully restored and magnificent as it is, the depictions have permanently affected the thinking and belief system in Christendom. His paintings inspired other artists to depict death and suffering, hell and heaven, battles of evil and good with headless and bloody bodies strewn across tapestries and huge canvases. Having seen these first hand it was apparent that while the the progressive technical aspects of art were advanced, the subject matter was seriously, in the view of many,
not of the happiest moments in Christianity. The subject matter was dark, evil and sinister. His constant battle with the Pope was classic for the time. But his contribution as the most recognized art in the world still outshines all other criticisms.

Hope this helped a little
