This engraving shows Michelangelo’s planned tomb for Pope Julius II. It’s crowded with figures carved in deep shadows and sharp lines. The design was never finished in stone. Michelangelo kept changing this tomb. It started as a huge project with over 40 statues. He simplified it many times before this print was made. Look up the National Gallery of Art, Washington to see other prints like this one.
