In the partition of the church of San Bernardino in Caravaggio (Lombardy), Fermo Stella (c. 1490–1562) depicted a cycle of frescoes of “The Passion of Christ”. In the central panel, “The Crucifixion” one of the tortures of Christ, the sponge-bearer, shows a large goiter and other signs of hypothyroidism (macroglossia, expressionless face, and puffiness around the eyes), confirming that the Renaissance artists often represented sinful and wicked individuals as affected by thyroid diseases.

拿着海绵的人患有甲状腺肿：Fermo Stella 的《基督受难记》（约 1530 年）

在卡拉瓦乔（伦巴第大区）圣贝纳迪诺教堂的分区中，费尔莫·斯特拉（C. 1490-1562）描绘了一系列“基督受难记”的壁画。在中央面板中，“受难”是海绵持有者基督的酷刑之一，显示出巨大的甲状腺肿和其他甲状腺功能减退的迹象（巨舌症、面无表情和眼睛周围浮肿），证实了文艺复兴时期的艺术家经常代表受甲状腺疾病影响的有罪和邪恶的人。
