Now I’m no expert but it is probably St Bartholomew holding his own discarded flayed skin

It is. He is holding the knife in his other hand.

Makes no sense though. He's bald af and the skin clearly has headhair. Who's skin is he carrying? 😱

It's from Michelangelo's The Last Judgment fresco in the Sistine Chapel, and some scholars believe it is a self-portrait.

Here Michelangelo represented himself as Saint Sebastian holding paintbrushes instead of arrows.

He is in heaven so he is hole again. All the saints are bald naked and with beards so they are easier to identify. In their hands are symbols to tell us who they are.

Is that Saint Bartholomew ?

publicdomainrev.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes, though with a possible twist. It's from Michelangelo's The Last Judgment fresco in the Sistine Chapel, and some scholars believe it is a self-portrait.

That image must have a story behind it.

The mass of skin that man is holding reminds me of a strange dream I had when I was nine, which ended in my twin brother looking like that.

I haven't really figured out what it could mean, but my brother's mistakes with me and his other relatives could make a metaphor out of my brother's skin.

He was pretty bad ass with the nunchucks too

Totally didn’t sneak a selfie in the Sistine chapel.

He is one of a kind, and you know just where to find him when it’s party time
