Document Summary
1515 - michelangelo, moses (for the tomb of julius ii), marble. Ezekiel similar - broad shoulders, thick torso, physically powerful. Moses" horn was from a misread translation - they mistook light for horns. Not a narrative but inspired it with animation. 1512-1513 - raphael, portrait of pope julius ii, oil. Not the image we expect of the powerful ruler. Court ceremony - granted an audience, we are close to him as viewers. Look down because of power status - he is of greater power. 1513 - raphael, sistine madonna (mary, jesus, st. sixtus, and st. barbara), oil. Suggested it was to be hung above the bier of julius ii. St. sixtus is a portrait of julius ii, with the shaggy beard and moustache - his cope is decorated with oak leaves, and an acorn crowns his tiara. The two putti lean on a wooden ledge and gaze upward - wooden ledge as the lid of the coffin.
