Michelangelo • Sculptures • Moses. Moses. Michelangelo’s Moses has a complicated and difficult history. Like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to design and construct his tomb in 1505.
Sculpted by Michelangelo Buonarotti, this particular take on the biblical prophet has a unique feature – it has horns. Many art historians believe he misinterpreted the Bible — in the Book of Exodus, it says that it was hard for the Jews to look at the face of Moses when he descended Mount Sinai with the Lord’s stone tablets.
His most famous works are the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (the large papal chapel in Vatican city, named after Pope Sixtus IV, which he painted, 1508-1512), the sculpture Pieta (Saint Peter's Basilica, Vatican City, 1498–1499), the sculpture David (Galleria dell'Accademia, Florence, 1501-1504) and the sculpture Moses (Church of San Pietro in Vincoli, Rome, 1513-1515).
The Moses (c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb, it depicts the Biblical figure Moses with horns on his head, based on a description in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time.
Moses was a stunning marble sculpture completed by Michelangelo in 1515. It was relatively rare for the artist to produce a full-length sculpture, with the commission coming from Pope Julius II who desired an elaborate tomb.
