The famed Medici tombs in Florence were primarily designed and carved by the renowned Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti. He worked on the tombs of several members of the Medici family, including those in the Basilica of San Lorenzo. Michelangelo's work on these tombs is celebrated for its intricate sculptures and powerful emotional expression, reflecting the grandeur of the Medici lineage.

According to Wili[pedia, there have been four Medici popes: Pope Leo X (December 11, 1475 - December 1, 1521), born Giovanni de' Medici, was pope from 1513 to his death. Pope Clement VII (May 26, 1478 - September 25, 1534), born Giulio di Giuliano de' Medici, was a cardinal from 1513 to 1523 and was pope from 1523 to 1534. Pope Pius IV (March 31, 1499 - December 9, 1565), born Giovanni Angelo Medici, was pope from 1559 to 1565. However, he was only distantly related to the other Medici Popes. Pope Leo XI (June 2, 1535 - April 27, 1605), born Alessandro Ottaviano de' Medici, was pope from April 1, 1605, to April 27 of the same year.
For the most part, the Medicis and Vespuccis commissioned the works that we have today, but there were likely many others that were burned by Savanarola. If you want more information on this: see link below!
Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, after the failure of the Popes tomb project (Michelangelo had carved many statues for this tomb when the project was cancelled0. Upon the death of Pope Julius II Michelangelo returned to the service of the Medici popes, Leo X and Clement VII.
Two important patrons of the arts during the Renaissance were the Medici family in Florence and Pope Julius II. The Medici, particularly Lorenzo de' Medici, supported artists like Michelangelo and Botticelli, significantly influencing the development of Renaissance art. Pope Julius II, known as the "Warrior Pope," commissioned monumental works, including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling, which epitomized the era's artistic achievements. Their patronage not only provided financial support but also fostered an environment where artistic innovation could flourish.

Raphael's primary patron from the Medici family was Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici. Leo X was a significant supporter of the arts during the Renaissance and commissioned several works from Raphael, including the famous "The School of Athens" in the Vatican. His patronage greatly contributed to Raphael's prominence and success as an artist.
