Figure 1 Panel from Sistine Ceiling showing God Separating Earth from Waters (1511) by Michelangelo (a). Computer-assisted removal of the figures showing kidney shaped mantle of the Creator (b). Color highlighted version of (b) to demonstrate the vessels and ureter of the kidney (c). Reproduction of a medical illustration of the normal kidney (d) in which the ureter is shown in its normal course downward from the kidney. In the figure by Michelangelo, it is likely that the ureter is shown extended below the kidney and protruding at the left upper corner beyond the outline of the mantle (a). That would be the position of the empty ureter if the kidney were hurled at the viewer or traversing at high speed through space. Reproduced with permission from the Vatican Museum.
