The sculptures of Michelangelo thrill art lovers all over the world. They are
moved by the grace of his David, but he never signed it. They are awed by the
majesty of his Moses, but he never signed it. They are thunderstruck at the
impact of the Medici Tomb, but he never signed it. The only sculpture he ever
signed is the Pieta -- Mary taking Jesus down from the cross. The only work
that bears his name is the one that reflects the crucifixion.
