Pope Julius II was a very ambitious pope who was a patron of arts and building. One of his favorite sculptors was Michelangelo. Julius commissioned a grand freestanding tomb for himself with 40 marble statues to be carved by Michelangelo. The project was put on hold until after his death for the work on the destruction and reconstruction of St. Peter's Basilica. After his death the project was greatly reduced and put in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli instead of St. Peter's Basilica.
