It is virtually impossible to state a number since most of Michelangelo's works ar part of large undertakings. or instance he built the Medici Chapel in the church San Lorenzo in Florence. It contains two sculptured tombs and three free-standing sculptures. Is the work in the Sistine Chapel (ceiling and front wall) to be considered as one work? And so on.

∙ 15y agoHow many works of art did Michelangelo sign? According to Vasari and other early biographers, while Michelangelo was an up-and-coming young sculptor in Rome he overheard some people discussing his new Pietà in St. Peter's Basilica and attributing it to another artist. Michelangelo was irritated that the praise for all of his hard work was wrongly going to someone else, so he returned at night and carved the words "Michelangelo Buonoratti, Florentine, made this" in a prominent place on the sash across Mary's chest. He never again signed any of his work. So to answer your question: 1.

∙ 12y agoIt is not possible to give an exact number, because a work like the Sistine Chapel ceiling contains one story, consisting of several separate scenes. The ceiling also contains a large number of individual figures, separate from the scenes. How is one to count this?
