MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Giuliano de‘ Medici

🖼 Giuliano de‘ Medici, 1526-33
Marble
Florence, Italy

Sculpted in marble, the seated figure displays idealized musculature and classical contrapposto, rendered with Renaissance precision. Michelangelo's commemorative monument transforms the deceased Medici patron into eternal, godlike form, establishing the artist's dominance in monumental sculpture.
