    The Pope’s own Master of Ceremonies, Biagio da Cesena, said of the painting “it was mostly disgraceful that in so sacred a place there should have been depicted all those nude figures, exposing themselves so shamefully,” and that it was no work for a papal chapel, but rather “for the public baths and taverns”. In response, Michelangelo represented Cesena’s face as that of Minos, judge of the underworld in the far bottom-right corner of the fresco, giving the king Donkey ears to indicate his foolishness, while his nudity is covered by a coiled snake. 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.

    In 1506 Pope Julius II designed a program to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, where the walls of the chapel had already been decorated twenty years earlier.
