Did Michelangelo Include a Brain Stem in the Sistine Chapel?
Image source: Wikipedia.org Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown has yet to write a book on the hidden pictures in Michelangelo’s artwork, but maybe he can start working on a thriller that takes Robert Langdon on a journey through the Renaissance master’s alleged diagrams of human anatomy. Hidden in plain sight, in Sistine Chapel frescoes, assert some medical personnel, are pictures of human anatomy. The latest assertion appears in the journal Neurosurgery, where Ian Suk and Dr. Rafael J. Tamargo claim that Michelangelo included a rendering of the human brain stem in the fresco titled “The Separation of Light from Darkness”.
