Question

This figure names a marble sculpture once topped by a now-destroyed Calvary group that sits in the middle of a courtyard in the Champmol monastery. Another depiction of this figure appears directly below a reclining “effigy” by Tommaso di Pietro Boscoli. Philip the Bold commissioned Claus Sluter (15[1])to sculpt this figure as one of six people holding scrolls in a (*) “well” named for this figure. A scar on the right knee of a sculpture of this figure was legendarily created when an artist struck it and exclaimed, “now speak!” The San Pietro in Vincoli holds that sculpture of this figure, who is flanked by (-5[1])Leah and Rachel and bears features thought to result from a mistranslation of the Hebrew word for “radiant.” (10[1])For 10 points, Michelangelo’s Tomb of Pope Julius II includes a “horned” depiction of what prophet? ■END■ (10[1])
