Locations have been proposed for Michelangelo's Moses including: Florence, Italy; London, England; New York City, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Rome, Italy; and Washington, D.C. Michelangelo did not finish his sculpture and the only evidence of its completion is a quote from a friend who visited him while he was working on it. The friend wrote that "Michelangelo has made a start on a statue that will be both beautiful and powerful, something no other human being has ever done before." This statement has led to speculation about what this "something" might be. Some think it could be a representation of Moses but this is not certain. It may also be a figure of Christ or even of a famous person such as Cyrus the Great or Alexander the Great. If you go to Florence, Italy, you can see two sculptures by Michelangelo in the Museo di San Matteo: David and Moses. These were completed around 1513-1514. Moses is held by one hand above the head while with the other hand he points toward the horizon. He is dressed in ancient Egyptian clothes with his body covered up to the waist.
