FILE: 45_Tomb of Lorenzo de Medici_Michelangelo.jpg
TITLE: SCULPTURE - Tomb of Lorenzo de Medici - HIGH ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
DESCRIPTION: by MICHELANGELO. Tomb of Lorenzo de Medici in Florence. Classical architecture - nothing faux here! Leo X commissioned tomb to house Juliano and Lorenzo (minor Medicis - not the powerful ones). FIRST TOMB PORTRAIT SCULPTURE SINCE EGYPT! LORENZO in middle. Two figures on tomb are "Night" and "Day". Michelangelo never used women as models, so female nude bodies always look masculine, muscular.
