Sketch: Why Michelangelo Didn't Paint The Last Supper

Terry Gilliam's wig from the "Why Michelangelo Didn't Paint The Last Supper" sketch, in which Michelangelo (Eric Idle) argues with the Pope (John Cleese) over the artist's interpretation of The Last Supper. Terry Gilliam introduced the artist to the Pope, wearing a wig reminiscent of his appearance as the Jailer's Assistant in Monty Python's The Life of Brian. This lot comprises one wig, intentionally distressed with a scabby, scarred crown and faux brown hair around the sides. It comes presented on a flock head.

Inventory: One wig.

This lot is from the Monty Python Live (mostly) - One Down Five to Go stage show, which ran at the O2 Arena, London for 10 sold out nights, from July 1st - 5th, and 15th - 20th 2014. It was the legendary comedy troupe's last live performance ever and billed as "The End of Monty Python". The final night was live-streamed on UKTV Gold and to cinemas around the world, then subsequently released on DVD and BluRay. Many of the items in the stage show were created as one-offs, and all lots are guaranteed to have been used during the show.

This item comes with a Propstore Certificate of Authenticity
