The Church of St Peter in ChainsRome: Michaelangelo's Moses Around 1505 Pope Julius II , an important patron of Michelangelo's, commissioned the 30 year old sculptor to design and execute the pope's sepluchre. The original design, as described by narratives of Condivi and Vasari, called for a rectangular ground plan on which a four-sided structure would be erected. The design incorporated pilasters, cornices and niches in which statues would be placed to represent the fine arts and the sciences. At the four corners, above the cornice, would be placed four very large marble figures representing active life, contemplative life, St Paul, and Moses. Topping off the whole structure would be a statue of the pope, whose body would rest inside the tomb.
