The pathology was identified due to breast asymmetry, deformation of the left nipple, as well as signs of carcinoma and bulges in the armpit.
Researchers noted that the Italian painter and sculptor intentionally depicted certain diseases as divine punishment for sins. Additionally, he often relied on models when creating his works.
