Michael Triegel's painting style differs from that of his colleagues at the Leipzig School. He paints like the Old Masters and cites Michelangelo, Raphael, and Dürer as his role models. In 2020, Triegel received an extraordinary commission: to design the destroyed central section of the altar in Naumburg Cathedral. Almost 500 years earlier, the painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder fell victim to iconoclasm.
