Description:
Clement VII sent Tribolo back to Florence in 1533 to help Michelangelo complete the Medici tombs in San Lorenzo, though this work was interrupted in 1534 because of the Pope’s death. He was later responsible for the installation of Michelangelo’s sculpture in the Medici Chapel in 1546 (as well as the design and installation of the elaborate pavement in the Biblioteca Laurenziana at San Lorenzo). It is not a direct copy; the head on this version of Day is much more finished than Michelangelo's version (part of the Tomb of Giuliano di Lorenzo de' Medici).
