Michelangelo famously signed the "Pietà," a sculpture he created between 1498 and 1499. The artwork depicts the Virgin Mary holding the lifeless body of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. He inscribed his name on the sash across Mary's chest, making it the only work he ever signed. This act was partly motivated by a desire to assert his authorship after hearing another artist claim credit for the piece.
