MONTELUPO, Raffaello da
(b. 1504, Firenze, d. 1566, Orvieto)

Tomb of Julius II (detail)

1545
Marble
San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome

Between 1542 and 1545 Montelupo worked on the over life-size statues of the Virgin and Child, the Prophet and the Sibyl for the upper register of Michelangelo's tomb of Julius II in San Pietro in Vincoli. Possibly, he also worked on Leah and Rachel flanking the statue of Moses.

The picture shows the Prophet.
