Michelangelo's Moses for Pope Julius II's Tomb, Rome

     Did you ever consider what your tomb, crypt or niche would look like after you are dead? I have. Michelangelo did. So did Pope Julius II, So have some famous others. First, they understood that they were going to die. Second, they wanted to know that even after death, they would have a public image. Now, Napoleon did it right. Huge tomb, huge casket and container, on site church were people could pray for his soul.
     The photo above is of Pope Julius II's tomb in Saint Peter In Chains church, Rome. Michelangelo's statue of Moses graces the space. Michelangelo's own tomb is of his own design in Florence.
     I do not want anymore than a brass plaque on a niche. Others I know do not want anything.
     Regardless, some of the great art in Italy, France and Spain are tombs and burial plots.
