According to documents discovered in 1981, [4] Michelangelo had been commissioned in 1500 to paint a panel for the funerary chapel at the church of Sant'Agostino in Rome, but in the end gave back the sum received. It is probable that this work was The Entombment, which remained unfinished upon Michelangelo's return to Florence in 1501.

Evidence of Michelangelo's painting style is seen in the Doni Tondo.His work on the image foreshadows his technique in the Sistine Chapel.. The Doni Tondo is believed to be the only existing panel picture Michelangelo painted without the aid of assistants; [7] and, unlike his Manchester Madonna and Entombment (both National Gallery, London), the attribution to him has never been questioned.
The exact date of execution of the statue is unknown, but it is usually related to the project for the tomb of Julius II.It is thought to have been intended for one of the lower niches of one of the last projects for the tomb, perhaps that of 1532 for which the so-called Captives or "Provinces" now in the Galleria dell'Accademia of Florence may have also been made.
The Deposition (also called the Bandini Pietà or The Lamentation over the Dead Christ) is a marble sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance master Michelangelo.The sculpture, on which Michelangelo worked between 1547 and 1555, depicts four figures: the dead body of Jesus Christ, newly taken down from the Cross, Nicodemus [1] (or possibly Joseph of Arimathea), Mary Magdalene and the Virgin Mary.
He had worked on the sculpture all day, just six days before his death. [7] The Rondanini Pietà was begun before The Deposition of Christ was completed in 1555. In his dying days, Michelangelo hacked at the marble block until only the dismembered right arm of Christ survived from the sculpture as originally conceived.
The Dying Slave is a sculpture by the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Created between 1513 and 1516, it was to serve with another figure, the Rebellious Slave, at the tomb of Pope Julius II. [1] It is a marble figure 2.15 metres (7' 4") in height, and is exhibited at the Louvre, Paris.
