What was a significant result from Michelangelo’s David?

Answer 1

Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius ll.

Answer 2

Answer:

Michelangelo was commissioned by Pope Julius II.

Explanation:

    After David's conclusion, Michaelangelo's fame came to Pope Julius II, who asked him to execute a mausoleum, a "work that in beauty, pride and invention surpassed any and all ancient imperial graves." This encouraged Michelangelo, who soon went to Carrara to choose the best marble. The model he made for this construction was full of complex figures and adornments. He was able to complete the famous sculpture of Moses, which is part of the ensemble. But he had to interrupt his work because the Pope called him to another task. Julius II had taken back the city of Bologna from the Bentivoglio, and wanted to have a statue that would remember that feat.
