The story of The Entombment
Documents found in 1981 show that Michelangelo was commissioned in 1500 to paint a panel for a funerary chapel at Sant'Agostino in Rome, but returned the payment without finishing it, and this unfinished panel is thought to be that commission. He probably abandoned it when he went back to Florence in 1501 to obtain the marble for his David. The panel passed through Roman collections and was in the Farnese collection by the 1650s. Robert Turnbull Macpherson acquired it around the 1840s and the National Gallery bought it from him in 1868.

Michelangelo
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni, known mononymously as Michelangelo, was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. He was born in the Republic of Florence but was mostly active in Rome from his 30s onwards. His work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era.
