47_Tomb of Guiliano de Medici_Michelangelo.jpg
SCULPTURE - Tomb of Giuliano de Medici - HIGH ITALIAN RENAISSANCE
by MICHELANGELO. Tomb of Giuliano 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! GIULIANO in middle. Two figures on tomb are "Dawn" and "Dusk". Michelangelo never used women as models, so female nude bodies always look masculine, muscular.
