Moses

Michelangelo Buornarroti

This work was part of a commission for life by Pope Julius the II for his tomb. The horns on Moses’ head are due to a typo in a reprint of the bible by St. Jerome.

I chose this work because to me it was reminiscent of Greek Hellenistic art, which I absolutely love.
