>>2295723there's an interesting fact about the Last Judgment made by Michelangelo. When he finished the fresco the pope criticizes the massive amount of naked figures, expecially the saints, so he hired Daniele da Volterra, a painter who covered all the genitals with pieces of cloth. After this, he earned the nickname of "Braghettone", that means the breeches maker.
another funny fact regards, ironically, the presence of many beatiful greek and roman statues in the Vatican Museums, depicting muscular nude men in heroical poses.
sorry for my bad english. i'm an italian guy who loves art that wanted to join the conversation
