The Last Hero Illustrations

[Marky Lazer]

In Pratchett and Kidby's beautiful illustrated book The Last Hero, there's a picture (pp. 154-5). I believe that is a parody on a Da Vinci painting, is that correct? And if so, what's the painting's name?

Leonardo???

Ouch! Culture took a shot. In the nether regions.

It is Michelangelo. Sistine Chapel, Rome.
The Panel that Pratchett and Kidby lampoon is "God creates Adam".

Yeah, no kidding! I was thinking that, but I thought what the hell is Michelangelo doing in a book about da Vinci?
