Macabre details of Michelangelo's Last Judgment
Minos bitten by a snake[1] is detail of the fresco painting The Last Judgment. In a risque detail, only rarely mentioned, we see the phallus of Minos being bitten by a snake.
It is as transgressive as Saint Bartholomew holding the knife of his martyrdom and his flayed skin[2].
