Michelangelo's design of the facade went through three main phases, which can be identified in three drawings in the collection of Casa Buonarroti, nos. 45 A, 47 A and 43 A. In all likelihood it was the clearly defined image in the last of these drawings that was translated into the large wooden model in Casa Buonarroti, which itself reflects the passage from the design stage to that of execution, as specified in the contract drawn up between Leo X and the artist on January 19, 1518. The model is 1:12 scale. The facade was never built. |
