Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Michelangelo's works
German term or phrase: Tageszeiten
According to my translation, Michaelangelo sculpted "die Figuren der Tageszeiten auf den Medici-Gräbern in San Lorenzo".

I can't find the English name for these sculptures anywhere! Anyone know what they're called?

Many thanks!
