About this work
The tombs of Giuliano and Lorenzo de’ Medici in Florence – created by Michelangelo – rank among the most famous sculptural ensembles of the Italian Renaissance. Drawn or modelled copies of the tombs were frequently made by other artists. Among Van der Schardt’s nine modelli are studies of Lorenzo’s right hand, and of the left and right arm of the recumbent figure at the left, Night. The figure at the right personifies Day.
