53A Moldings profiles for the door of the Laurenziana Library

The sheet shows a series of moldings profiles, furnished with indications on how to realize them. The drawing was addressed to Ceccone, identifiable with the worker Francesco d’Andrea Lucchesini, who, in 1533, had gotten by Michelangelo the job of carring out the doors that, had to connect the vestibule of the Library Mediceo Laurenziana with the reading room. Clemente VII, in fact, granted to Michelangelo to move between Rome and Florence, in the biennium 1532-1534, on condition that he furnished the drawings to continue the works of the Laurenziana Library.
