Guiliano, Duke of Nemours

December 9, 2019 by Henk Bekker

Guiliano (1478-1516), Duke of Nemours and brother of Pope Leo X, is portrayed by Michelangelo

Guiliano (1478-1516), Duke of Nemours and brother of Pope Leo X, is portrayed by Michelangelo as a military captain in the New Sacristy of San Lorenzo. He is flanked by the reclining statue of Day โ€” a powerful male with an unfinished face โ€” and Night, a young sleeping woman with a head inspired by classic Greek sculptures.

The group monument in the Medici Chapels is undergoing cleaning and restoration work.
