Confounding logical men, he becomes Renaissance figure (12)
I believe the answer is:
michelangelo
'renaissance figure' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'confounding logical men he' is the wordplay.
'logical men he' can be anagrammed to 'MICHELANGELO'.
Though, I'm not sure how the anagram is indicated.
'becomes' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for michelangelo that I've seen before include "Sistine ceiling painter" , "Florentine painter and sculptor" , "Italian painter and sculptor" , "He painted" , "Famous sculptor" .)
