one of the lesser known points is that Michelangelo had a very contentious relationship with the Pope while he was painting the Sistine Chapel. So much so that one panel has a fairly obvious insult directed at the Pope. The panel in which God creates the Sun and the Moon depicts God in two different poses. However, in the pose to the left, God’s tunic is not very tight fitting. So much so that God’s entire bare buttocks are aimed right at the viewer, in this case for the Pope. In modern parlance, this is known as “mooning.”
