Show By Michelangelo The only work ever signed by Michelangelo Buonarroti, world's supreme sculptor, is his Pieta, in St. Peter's in Rome. This marble altar piece, showing the Madonna Madon-na with the dead Christ in her arms, has the sculptor's name and birthplace chiseled in large letters let-ters on the shoulder band crossing Mary's garment. They were added add-ed later, in the church at night, after Michelangelo had overheard strangers credit the work to another an-other man. Collier's. |
