Art Historians, in the 19th and early 20th centuries were perfectly well aware of the process of painting a picture and they knew exactly what the green and black underpainting was, and that brighter colours would be painted over the top.

This is also nonsense
“His subjects, in many paintings appeared alive and in a few instances their eyes appeared to be looking back at you.”.
There are only two authenticated panel pictures by Michelangeloi and in NEITHER does the subject “look at you”. His major work is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Out of the hundreds of figures, only a couple look out of the picture, and they are barely visible from the floor.
“paintings frequently moved people to tears?” Nonsense!
Michelangelo’s paintings are NOT highly emotional. The works by him that are MOVING are his several sculptures of the Pieta (Mary mourning the dead Christ). You need to look and look and look before you write a single word.
