Round 6: 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 (10[1])viewing at the top (10[1])of the Florence Cathedral. Statues of a Dying Slave, (10[1]-5[1])Rebellious Slave, and a Horned Moses were created by this artist (10[1])for the tomb of Pope Julius (10[1])II. This artist, who only (10[1])signed his 1499 version of the Pietà, created a 17-foot tall statue that looks into the distance and holds a sling over (10[1])his shoulder. For 10 points, name this Renaissance artist of a marble David. ■END■ (10[2])
