	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Michelangelo Buonarroti
		Michelangelo suffered unspeakably from the constant alteration of his plans; he was, moreover, beset by many detractors; the political disorders in his native city filled him with grief, and the years brought with them constantly increasing infirmities.
		Michelangelo regarded the freedom of his native city as lost after the second return of the Medici from exile and the assumption of the control of affairs by Alessandro and Cosmo de' Medici.
		Michelangelo, who was not a fesco-painter, exerted all his powers of mind and body, abandoning his preference for the effects of sculpture in order to express without assistance and in defiance of the envious, the full ideal of his conceptions in this unwonted medium.

	St Peter in Chains - Michaelangelo's Moses
		Moses is the centerpiece of the tableau for the unfinished tomb of Julius II; flanking are Jacob's wives, Michelangelo's last completed statues; others are works of Michelangelo's students.
		However, Michelangelo was soon diverted from the monumental project -- and from his first love of sculpting -- to painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.
		What Michelangelo eventually called "the tragedy of the tomb" came to a close in 1545 when a much smaller version of the tomb was installed in the Church of St Peter in Chains, rather than in St Peter's, as first planned.

	Neoplatonism and Michelangelo
		Michelangelo believed that the artist's function was to bring preexistent forms out of the material at hand: "the greatest artist has no conception which a single block of marble does not potentially contain within its mass, but only a hand which obeys the intelleto can accomplish that" (Clements 16).
		Michelangelo was famous for his ability to harmonize the design of a statue with the proportions of the block of marble.
		Michelangelo's use of contraposito was consonant with Alberti's view that painters should express the soul with bodily movements rather than with expressions.

	Moses (Michelangelo) at AllExperts
		Michelangelo's Moses is marble sculpture executed by Michelangelo Buonarroti 1513-1515 which depicts the Biblical figure Moses.
		Peter's Basilica, "Moses" and the tomb were instead placed in the minor church of San Pietro in Vincoli on the Esquiline in Rome after the pope's death.
		The tomb of Julius II, a colossal structure that would have given Michelangelo the room he needed for his superhuman, tragic beings, became one of the great disappointments of Michelangelo's life when the pope, for unexplained reasons, interrupted the commission, possibly because funds had to be diverted for Bramante's rebuilding of St. Peter's.

	Ilse Grubrich-Simitis - Michelangelos Moses und Freuds 'Wagstück' - Perlentaucher.de, Kultur und Literatur ...
		Die Restaurierung von Michelangelos Grabmal für Papst Julius II., zu dem die Moses-Statue gehört, hat eine heftige intellektuelle Debatte ausgelöst. In diesem hochaktuellen Kontext wird auch Freuds sprachmächtiger Essay über die Skulptur - er selbst bezeichnete ihn als "Wagstück" - neu gewürdigt.
		Grubrich-Simitis deute Michelangelos Moses als "Ichideal" von Sigmund Freud, als einen Teil jenes Materials, das in den Stürmen, die um die psychoanalytische Sache nach dem Abfall von Carl Gustav Jung und Alfred Adler toben, sein "Über-Ich" festigte.
		In seinem Essay über den Moses von Michelangelo habe Sigmund Freud in der Skulptur die "Selbstbeherrschung eines kraftstrotzenden Heroen" gesehen, der beim Abstieg vom Berg Sinai angesichts seines Götzen verehrenden Volkes in Wut gerät.

	The sign of the betrayed in Michelangelo's Moses
		Moses posture is that of a prophet, posed on a marble chair, between two decorated marble columns.
		Michelangelo may have been influenced directly in this matter from the Bronze door by Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378-1455) from 1452 for the baptistery of the cathedral of Florence [3] doors which were called by Michelangelo "Gates of Paradise" [4].The fresco of Cosimo Rosselli (1439-1507) at the Sistine Chapel might have served also as a source.
		Moses is watching his folk and is at a state of anger, feeling not unfamiliar to Michelangelo in the time he was making the Julius tomb.

	Peter in Chains/Michelangelo's Moses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Moses: The pious may go to this church to venerate the chains, but the big tourist attraction is Michelangelo' Moses, the centerpiece of his monumental tomb for Pope Julius II, which originally was to have been placed in St. Peter's in the Vatican.
		Michelangelo never finished the tomb, because Julius and his successors constantly encumbered the artist with other, higher priority work, not least of which was the painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican.
		The six slaves, possibly by Michelangelo, that were to have adorned a platform for the tomb are displayed at the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence (4) and the Louvre in Paris (2).

		In the centre of the latter is a fresco by Giovanbattista Parodi, portraying the Miracle of the Chains.
		Michelangelo's Moses, which dates from 1515, is the most notable piece of artwork in the basilica.
		Unfortunately, Moses is depicted with satyr's horns, as opposed to "the radiance of the Lord", due to a mediaeval mistranslation.

	Michelangelo's Moses in Juxtaposition
		And it is this type of interpretation of Moses which would become conventional in expressing a very difficult concept in art.
		Therefore, in Sargent's Moses we see his entire being enveloped in the spirit of Jehovah with many wings, and instead of two horns – why of course, the tip of two additional wings at the top of his head -- almost horns.
		But it must be a study for Moses as the verso of this drawing is one that has been identified as being of Moses.

	Michelangelo Buonaroti: Moses
		We can certainly envision this episode when viewing a work like Raphael's 1659 painting of Moses, but to associate this event with Michelangelo’s Moses is quite a stretch to the imagination.
		Comments: the sculpture of moses was made ca 1513-1515 and was part of the large project for the tomb of Julius2.
		Moses actually meant to be seen from below as it was supposed to be 12 feet above ground level.

		Giacomo della Porta overtog projektet efter Michelangelos død i 1564, og i 1593 var kuplen rejst.
		Årsagen til, at netop dette værk er signeret, skulle være denne: En dag, da den unge Michelangelo var i kirken for at se sit værk opstillet, overhørte han en samtale mellem to ansete borgere, der talte om, hvem der kunne have lavet figuren, og en anden kunstner blev nævnt.
		Michelangelo lavede senere yderligere 2 udgaver af temaet Pietá, hvoraf den ene skulle have stået på hans egen grav.

	The Monument of Ornament: Michelangelo's Moses: footnotes
		Recently Peter Armour has argued that Freud's "proposed reconstruction of Moses' pose is unecessary, for a simple experiment will prove that the figure could not possibly stand up from this position as can be verified by anyone who cares to reproduce the pose...
		As Freud's theory implies, if Moses did spring to his feet, he would break the Tablets by accident, even carelessly, for they would simply topple over and fall to the ground." Peter Armour, "Michelangelo's Moses: A Text in Stone," Italian Studies (1993), v.

	Michelangelo's Moses comes clean - www.smh.com.au
		In 1505, Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to produce 40 sculptures for his grandiose tomb, which he envisaged as the most magnificent Christian funerary monument.
		But after completing the 2.3-metre-high Moses, an overworked Michelangelo was sidetracked with a new commission - painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in the Vatican.
		The Moses figure, seated and holding the tablets of the Ten Commandments, originally looked forward but Michelangelo adapted the sculpture to its new environment in the 1540s, turning his head towards the light.

		Moses ist in dem Augenblick dargestellt, als vom Berg Sinai zurückkommt, wo er von Gott die Gesetzestafeln mit den Zehn Geboten erhalten hat.
		Nach der Entdeckung der „Grotten“ in der Zeit der Renaissance kamen Raffael und Michelangelo hierher, um die Wandmalereien zu betrachten und daraus zu lernen.

	Rome tours: Michelangelo's Moses in the Freud's opinion
		Freud approached Michelangelo's Moses as a frequent visitor to the church of saint Peter in chains and a longtime admirer of both the statue and its subject.
		When Moses came down from the mountain, he saw the Hebrews worshipping a golden calf: their pagan sentiments aroused his anger, and, at the moment represented in the statue, Moses is about to rise up and smash the Tablets.
		According to Freud, therefore, Michelangelo created a new kind of Moses as a reproach to Julius and as warning to himself.

		The figure of Christ is nude (which scandalized his contemporaries); throughout his career Michelangelo created his masterpieces as a celebration of the human body.
		Another marble relief carved by Michelangelo is the Pitti tondo which differs from the previous ones in style; the figures protrude and the work seems more like a statue than a relief.
		Originally a larger work, Michelangelo cut away portions of the original statue and began carving again; the result is an unfinished statue of the standing figures of Christ and his mother.

		I published something on this, "Old Light on Moses' Shining Face" in Vetus Testamentum 52:400-406 last year [actually, it was 2002 - JRD] which applies some new data to the question, from both Mesopotamian and Jewish sources, and may clarify things.
		Moses' face could, quite literally, radiate horns of light, and the need to translate the term as either divine radiance or physical protuberance is a side-effect of modern conceptual categories, irrelevant to ancient Israelite ideas.
		Those horns on Moses' head come from a literal translation of Exod 34:30, 35, which describes the skin of Moses' face being changed somehow as a result of seeing God on Sinai, using a verbal form (qaran)of the Hebrew root for "horn" (qeren).
