Abstract

Challenged by the Tomb's internal composition, its relation to the Dukes' tombs, and its assimilation into the architecture of the Medici Chapel as a whole, Michelangelo reached increasingly sophisticated solutions in 1521–24 and experimented with approaches to classicism, developing rapidly as an architect. The present study publishes a copy of an important unknown design, and analyzes the difficult late sketches that look forward to the Laurentian Vestibule.
