MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Tomb of Lorenzo de‘ Medici

🖼 Tomb of Lorenzo de‘ Medici, 1524-31
Marble
630 × 420 cm
Florence, Italy

Marble figures recline in contrasting poses—one contemplative, one muscular—flanking an idealized portrait. Michelangelo's revolutionary tomb synthesizes classical restraint with emotional depth, establishing the Renaissance monument as philosophical statement rather than mere commemoration.
