Round 4: Tossup 18

This artist’s lover Tommaso dei Cavalieri modeled for The Genius of Victory, a sculpture intended to stand with unfinished statues of figures partially titled “Atlas” and “Awakening.” The Galleria dell’Accademia contains a statue by this artist whose disproportionate head and right hand were intended for its viewing (10[1])at the top of the (10[1])Florence Cathedral. Statues of a Dying Slave, Rebellious Slave, and a Horned Moses (10[1])were created by this artist (10[1])for the tomb of Pope Julius II. This artist, who (10[1])only signed his 1499 version of the Pietà, created a 17-foot tall statue that looks into the distance and holds a sling (10[1])over his shoulder. For 10 points, name this Renaissance artist of a marble (10[1])David. ■END■
