| Summary: | This article relates the history of a little known Michelangelo project for a reliquary tabernacle in the church of San Silvestro in Capite, Rome. A primary object of the essay is to explain the social dynamics contained in this history and to reveal the interplay of personal, political, and professional relations that are involved even in a minor undertaking by a major artist. Particularly important is the cast of characters involved and the blurring of the boundaries of patronage, favor, and friendship. Ultimately the project is interesting for the view it provides of Michelangelo in a dense web of social relations at an unusually busy moment in the artist's career. |
