Executed during a period of intense activity, including early work on the Tomb of Julius II. "In 1514, moreover, he signed a contract to make the Risen Christ (Rome, S Maria sopra Minerva) for Metello Vari, although it was delivered only in 1521. Conflicting demands began to take a heavy toll of his work and of his self-esteem. 'I have become a swindler against my will', he wrote in connection with the Risen Christ, but the phrase summed up his general predicament at this time and was marginally more honest than some of his subsequent accounts of this period."
