Michelangelo created a monumental statue for Julius II, erected in Bologna in 1508. What remains is one of Michelangelo's fascinating lost works.
FRANKFURT AM MAIN, HESSE, GERMANY, October 20, 2026 / EINPresswire.com / -- Before us stands an extraordinary historical wooden sculpture of a 16th-century pope. Scientific analysis points to the Renaissance period. Art historically, its
story leads to Pope Julius II – the pope who commissioned some of Michelangelo 's most famous works. And to a work of art that has been lost for more than 500 years.Michelangelo created a monumental bronze statue for Julius II, which was erected in Bologna in 1508. It was destroyed as early as 1511 and later melted down. What remains is one of Michelangelo's most fascinating lost works.
Your donation helps in two ways - for human lives in war zones and for research.
The current owners of the sculpture, who are almost 80 years old, have stipulated that 50 percent of the net donations available for the project must benefit Doctors Without Borders and their work.
Your support helps to enable Doctors Without Borders to provide exceptional medical assistance to people in need and to allow further research into the art history of the figure.
And what if the research leads to Michelangelo?
The scope of what further investigations might reveal is exceptionally significant!
Leonardo da Vinci's Salvator Mundi was long considered a lost or misattributed work. In 2017, it sold for more than 450 million US dollars – a world record for a work of art at auction.
What would this sculpture be worth if a significant connection to Michelangelo were scientifically proven! Even AI has analyzed the figure and cautiously valued it at 100 million euros.
Perhaps the character's story would then be completely rewritten, and every donor can now help contribute to that.
To this end, the International Michelangelo Fundraising Campaign is to be launched. At the same time, the owners have stipulated that 50% of the net donations received from this campaign must benefit the work of Doctors Without Borders. Thus, a humanitarian action is simultaneously becoming an art historical mission.
And one of the donors will receive the sculpture after the successful completion of the fundraising campaign.
A donor to this International Michelangelo Donation Campaign will have the opportunity to become a new guardian of this Renaissance figure and of humanity's cultural heritage.
Upon completion of the donation, the Michelangelo – Julius II. – figure will not remain permanently with the association, but will be handed over to a selected donor as their property.
Please help with this extraordinary fundraising campaign.
Support the International Michelangelo Donation Campaign. By doing so, a donor can contribute to vital humanitarian aid and receive a Michelangelo Julius II figure. The recipient will be selected from all donors under notarial supervision. This campaign is closely modeled on the highly successful "100 Euro - 1 Picasso in Paris" campaign, now offering a "100 Euro Donation - 1 Michelangelo Model Figure of Pope Julius II"—and the recipient has been chosen by the donors themselves.
Further information and the current state of research can also be found at the AI under "Newly Discovered Michelangelo Figure Julius II" and in the video on the internet: michelangelo-lost-masterpiece.com
The organizer of the fundraising campaign in aid of Doctors Without Borders and for research into the figure is the non-profit Michelangelo - Julius II. - Figur e. V. in Frankfurt am Main with its chairman Wolfgang Langer.
The International Michelangelo Fundraising Campaign is being handled via the European donation platform WhyDonate:
