File:The Papal Belvedere.jpg
Summary
The Papal Belvedere by Lucas Cranach the Elder in the 1545 publication of Luther's Depiction of the Papacy. It features a papal bull complete with fire and brimstone, fresh from the hand of Pope Paul III meeting German peasants with farts, fresh from their "belvedere". This is a depiction of typical German behaviour. [Belvedere refers to a building in the Vatican, but also means "beautiful view".]
Roughly read (with sure mistakes-please make it correct): "PAPA LOQVITUR. Sententiae nostrae etiam iniustae metuendae sunt. Responsio. Maledetta Aspice nudatas gens furiosa nates. Ecco qui Papa el mio belvedere. "
Complete translation (roughly--the Latin is unclear and mixed with Italian): The Pope speaks: Our sentences are to be feared, even if unjust. Response: Be damned! Behold, o furious race, our bared buttocks.
Here, Pope, is my 'belvedere'
