Michelangelo’s Moses

This statue of Moses was carved by Michelangelo Buonarotti to serve as the major central figure in the tomb of the warrior pope – Pope Julius II. As is typical of most works by the great man, Moses is depicted as Muscular and full of life force. I’ve never seen this statue in the flesh, but according to the records, it is apparently huge… as most works by Michelangelo tend to be. This rendition of the marvelous statue was created entirely in graphite/pencil.
