ST PETER IN CHAINS CHURCH	::: << Prev ::: Thumbs ::: Next >> :::
	024 of 152. Michelangelo's Moses (completed in 1515), while originally intended as part of a massive 47-statue, free-standing funeral monument and tomb for Pope Julius II, became the centerpiece in the San Pietro in Vincoli Basilica (St Peter in Chains Church). Despite its imposing scale, the tomb was never finished - Michelangelo got sidetracked by the Sistine Chapel, and Pope Julius II was buried in St Peter's Basilica.
