To punish a cardinal who disliked his Last Judgment, Michelangelo painted his portrait as Lucifer. This anecdote is noted by the art historian as revealing a major cultural evolution, namely the disappearance of the figure of the devil in painting. It demonstrates the singularity of humanist culture, which reintegrates diabolical categories within the human.
