Two Michelangelo and one subject

The two Michelangelo that I consider for this essay are Michelangelo Buonarroti and Michelangelo Merisi called Caravaggio; two very important artist consequent over time, but twice busied for one subject, a pictorial subject, this is Crucifixion of Saint Peter. I consider these pictures no certainly for subject bus because one, this is the first, this is Crucifixion of Buonarroti(Fig.1) was model for second painting in Cerasi chapel(Fig.2). we must consider very attentive influences and model; the first over time 1546-1550 and second between 1600 and 1601, then Caravaggio seen certainly two frescos of Michelangelo Buonarroti and he took some valid advisement, such he has took figure of torturer that is bent under cross, Caravaggio has took this figure from figure that digs field for cross of saint Peter on the fresco of Pauline chapel(Fig.3), Caravaggio has seen this figure and he has modified posture and he has worked more realism(Fig.4), and regard postures he has took posture of Saint Peter of Michelangelo, very similar, head is bent forward and cross is on diagonal position furthermore; the figure of Michelangelo that has grasped a cross arm(Fig.5) on fresco of Michelangelo is same figure of Caravaggio this is figure that  pulls the rope over shoulders(Fig.6). Then Caravaggio has took Michelangelo and he has rendered more realistic a model that has had some notes of realism.
