Michelangelo's "Tomb of Giuliano de Medici" (1533) is a grand Renaissance monument located in the Basilica di San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. The tomb features a seated statue of Giuliano, the Duke of Nemours, who is depicted as a warrior in classical armor. On the sarcophagus, two figures representing "Night" and "Day" are positioned at the foot of the tomb. This work is a testament to Michelangelo's mastery of marble sculpture and his ability to capture the essence of human emotion in stone.
