Models at the Berlin Museum,Berlin, Germany




Bad Thief on a Cross, bronze cast from wax




Medici Madona Head, clay




Medici Madona , clay ..all but the head was destroyed in WWII

During WWII the Germans hid most of their museum works of art.

They did not hide this model probably because they thought it was a fake. I guess, the Germans, forget they bought this model Haehnel in 1869. Haehnel sold it to the Kaiser Fredrick Museum in Berlin Germany.

in the 1869



A bronze copy of the wax model is at the Louve Museum in Paris, France

Michelangelo presented this bronze statuete to the Archbishop of Florence, Giovanni Salviati, and it remained in the family possession till 1830.
