Professor M. explains the Julius II-inspired iconography of the Sistine Chapel today in class:
"...the bearded old white man factor..."
And here, on the drunkenness of Noah:
"...old bearded white man is not looking so good..."
Actually, it was a very cool lecture: do you know, for example, that the chancel screen in the chapel falls precisely beneath the image of the expulsion from Paradise?
