His reputation must have been astounding, because the Warrior Pope did back off. Said he knew what to paint, and that the Pope was going to have to trust him. Not long after he started work, he was forced to get a little testy with the Pope: he told Julius to butt out and stop being such a micromanager. After several pleas, the Pope finally resorted to an ultimatum, and, reluctantly, Michelangelo returned, but not to resume work on the tomb: he was brought back to to fresco the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel which had been damaged due to a shoddy foundation - despite the fact that he was a sculptor and not a frescoist. And then he wanted him back, but Michelangelo said no. He first brought Michelangelo to Rome to work on his ostentatious tomb, but then he had a change of heart and sent him packing. He had a nasty temper and beat messengers who brought him bad news…and sometimes hurt those who brought good news by clapping them on the back with pleasure. When Julius wanted to bring the Papal States that had either gone rogue or been taken over by foreign rulers back into his pontifical fold, he sent out an army and rode at the head of it - armed - himself. I mean, Pope Julius II was not the peaceful shepherd that is Pope Francis I. What is surprising is the degree to which the Pope gave in to Michelangelo’s demands. Based on the title of the book, it should be no surprise that there was tension between the artist and the pontiff. Legend even has it that the designer of their uniforms was Michelangelo who was working on Pope Julius II’s tomb at the time, although many scholars believe this to be untrue.Michelangelo and Pope Julius II on a good day.ġ.
