Michelangelo's first sculptural commission were the statue of St. Petronius, the statue of St. Proclus and a statue of an angel, which he sculpted for the Arca di San Domenico (Ark of Saint Dominic),a monument containing the remains of Saint Dominic in the Chapel of Dominic of the Basilica of San Domenico in Bologna, in 1494-95.

Michelangelo's first commissioned painting was in 1500 or 1501. It was for painting a panel for the church of Sant'Agostino in Rome. However, he gave the sum he received back. It is thought that it was the Entombment, a work which remained unfinished when Michelangelo returned to Florence.
