"In art, the depiction of a three-dimensional form either through the sculpture of a soft substance, or the use of light, shadow, and colour in painting and drawing. It is also the practice of posing as an artist's subject.

In sculpture the technique of modelling uses clay or other plastic materials. It is the opposite of carving, the sculpture of harder, more resistant material. In painting and drawing modelling gives a two-dimensional surface the impression of three-dimensional solidity, and the subject matter roundness and weight. The term is most often used with reference to representations of the human figure. "

from: http://www.italian-renaissance-art.com/Michelangelo.html
"Michelangelo became increasingly interested in the human form and studied anatomy, dissected bodies and drew from live models all in his quest to master the complexities of posture and movement. "

so you can say that
"Modeling in art represents the depth , the texture or the solidity in a painting in order to make it more realistic, as can be seen from The Holy Family by Michelangelo. Michelangelo was considered to be a master of modeling because he perfected his human sculptures and illustrations by his knowledge of human anatomy.."
