    The document discusses Michelangelo's design for Pope Julius II's tomb and the figures he created for it, including Moses. [1] Michelangelo spent eight months searching for marble for the tomb but work was halted when the Pope turned his attention to rebuilding St. Peter's Basilica. [2] Michelangelo only completed the statue of Moses and some unfinished slaves before being persuaded to paint The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel instead, so the tomb was never finished. [3] The statue of Moses intended for the tomb now stands in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome.
