Description:
|
|
In 1519, Michelangelo was ordered by Pope Clement VII (formerly Cardinal Giulio de' Medici), to build a Medici funerary chapel at San Lorenzo (the New Sacristy). He provided both the architectural space design and the sculptural monuments. The creation of the chapel stretched over 14 years, during which time the Medici were in and out of power. Like the tomb of Julius II, this means the total scheme was not completed. What was completed were two wall tombs for Giuliano de’ Medici, Duc de Nemours, and Lorenzo de’ Medici, Duke of Urbino. The two later became known as the Capitani because of the Roman military uniforms worn by their effigies (which are types, not portraits). The marble frameworks and the four allegorical figures of the Times of Day for these tombs occupy the lateral walls of the chamber. The allegorical figures in particular were designed to be viewed from many different vantage-points within the chapel. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
