Michaelangelo.
He, who lives with a philosophy of dual allegiance to nature and beauty, the importance of the idea, freedom to break rules and the role of sculpture as a model for his art.
In the sculpture rule, it had always been that a man should be 8 heads tall. That is the precise measurement from top of the head to the chin which is used to establish the line of pectoral muscles, the navel, the groin, halfway to the foot and finally to the ground.

This tend to create monotomy of design and also fell into the mistake of thinking that there was an 'ideal' set of human proportion.
Michaelangelo was indifferent to proportion. Eventhough he was a realist, he used proportion as he saw fit. While women were supposed to be 7 heads high, he made it 9.
The purpose of elongating figures was for the effect.
