About Michelangelo and Design for the Tomb of Pope Julius II (1505)

Michelangelo (1475–1564) made this pen and ink drawing around 1505–1506. In 1505 Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to carve his tomb, a vast free-standing monument with some forty statues. The project was reduced again and again over forty years, a struggle his biographer later called the tragedy of the tomb, and was finally completed in a much smaller form, with the famous Moses, in San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome in 1545. It is drawn in pen and ink and measures about 51 x 31.9 cm.
