Biagio da Cesena complained to the Pope, but this one told him that he couldn´t do anything, because he didn´t have jurisdiction on hell. When the fresco was restored, it was discovered that Michelangelo had painted Biagio da Cesena being bitten in the genitalia by a coiled snake.<br /><br />QUESTION 3<br /><br />Saint Bartholomew is a portrait of the writer Pietro d´Aretino and the flayed skin has Michelangelo´s face. <br /><br />QUESTION 4<br /><br />All the genitals were covered with breeches, because the Council of Trent condemned nudity in religious art. The painter in charge of doing this was Daniele da Volterra, mostly known as Il Braghettone ("the breeches- painter")Paqui Pérez Fonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09825244803602259869noreply@blogger.com
