I thought this would be about "The Last Judgement". During a tour of Vatican, we were told that Michelangelo snuck in a painting of a Bishop who was very anti-Michelangelo into the bottom right corner of the Last Judgement. The bottom of the painting representing hell(I believe), the Bishop is getting his genitalia swallowed by a giant snake. The story goes that, when presenting the Last Judgement, the curtain was lifted from the bottom right corner. Pausing for a moment so everybody could see the Bishop and the snake. here is the image: http://www.archweb.it/arte/artisti_M/Michelangelo_G/images/Michelangelo%20-%20The%20Last%20Judgment.JPG http://www.archweb.it/arte/artisti_M/Michelangelo_G/images/M...

It is said that when Cesena complained to the Pope, the pontiff joked that his jurisdiction did not extend to hell, so the portrait would have to remain
