Round 3: 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 at (10[1])the top of the Florence Cathedral. (10[1])Statues of a Dying Slave, Rebellious Slave, (10[1])and a Horned Moses (10[1])were created by (10[1])this artist (10[3])for the tomb of Pope Julius (10[1])II. This artist, who only signed his 1499 version of the Pietà, (10[1])created a (10[1])17-foot tall (-5[1])statue that looks into the distance and holds a sling over his shoulder. For 10 points, name this Renaissance artist of a marble David. ■END■ (10[1])
