Don't Piss Off Michelangelo

The video discusses Michelangelo's Last Judgment fresco, commissioned by Pope Paul III for his private chapel. Michelangelo was given freedom to depict religious struggles, choosing to paint mostly nude figures, which sparked controversy. The Pope's master of ceremonies criticized the fresco, leading Michelangelo to depict him as Minos, the judge of Hell. Despite complaints, the Pope allowed the fresco to remain unchanged. After Michelangelo's death, the Council of Trent deemed the nudity offensive, and the figures were covered with loincloths.
