ROME — Two wooden crucifixes dating from the 1490s that are included in a Michelangelo exhibition at the Capitoline Museums in Rome are inciting fresh debate over issues of attribution.

The crucifixes are among the two dozen or so works, mostly copies, on display in a show that runs until September. The two in question are identified as “Michelangelo (attributed to),” from the collection of the Bargello National Museum in Florence, and “Florentine sculptor, Michelangelo?,” from the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The inclusion of the crucifixes in the show, as well as their placement next to a nearly life-size crucifix from the Church of Santo Spirito in Florence that experts concur is an early work by the Tuscan master, has drawn scrutiny from scholars. It has also furthered the debate over the verification process for works attributed to Michelangelo.

One of the two crucifixes — the Bargello’s — is at the center of an ongoing legal case in Italy over its pedigree, and some have questioned the appropriateness of including the two works in a commemorative exhibition. Michelangelo died 450 years ago at his Rome residence, not far from the Capitoline Hill.
