Note du spécialiste

Michelangelo's famous statue of Moses is part of the tomb of Pope Julius II at the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.
Pope Julius II (1443-1513), born Giuliano della Rovere and famously portrayed by Raphael, commissioned Michelangelo with the sculptural programme for his tomb in 1505. It was completed in 1545.
