Last Judgement


This is a detail from just above the lower right corner of Michelangelo's Last Judgement in the Sistine Chapel.  There's a lot of beefy bottoms on view, plus a curiosity.  Am I the only one who thinks the guy at lower right has the man above him literally by the balls?  Enlarge it and see what you think.

  2. Yes he does! And frankly the guy doesn't seem too upset about it...

  3. This is not from the original fresco.

  4. I believe this is correct. It appears to be from Marcello Venusti's copy of the original fresco, painted just before the drapery was added to hide the nudity.

  5. In the original fresco, the lower figure is not grabbing the nuts of the upper figure.
