This artist's architectural work includes the Palazzo Farnese in Rome and the Medici Chapel and Laurentian Library of the Basilica San Lorenzo in Florence. A monkey grasps the leg of a figure whose arm is bound to his back in a statue this artist created for the tomb of Pope Julius II, The Dying Slave. A peculiar translation from the Vulgate resulted in his statue of Moses having horns. In 1547, he succeeded Sangallo the Younger as chief architect of St. Peter's Basilica, which also houses his statue of Mary bearing the body of Jesus on her lap after the Crucifixion. For 10 points, name this artist of a famous PiÃ¨ta and a marble David.
