Renaissance master Pintoricchio’s fresco of “The Resurrection” in the Vatican’s Borgia Apartments is seen in this photo provided by the Vatican Museums. The director of the museums, Antonio Paolucci, said he believes restorers have uncovered in the fresco the first painted depictions of Native Americans. The images of “nude men, ornate with feathers” appear in the background underneath the risen Christ figure. The paintings were completed in 1494, and Paolucci said the Spanish Pope Alexander VI who commissioned them “was interested in the New World” and would have known about the discovery of the Americas by his co-national, Christopher Columbus.
