Progetto per una statua equestre di Enrico II di Francia — Storia e analisi

Nel 1559 Caterina de' Medici commissionò a Michelangelo di creare un monumento con una statua equestre per suo marito, morto in un torneo. Tuttavia, non fu mai realizzato a causa della morte dell'artista e dell'assistente che avrebbe dovuto occuparsi dell'opera. Questo schizzo si concentra principalmente sul piedistallo monumentale.

La sua forma deriva da un progetto che il grande maestro aveva realizzato circa cinquant'anni prima.
