MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Sacrifice of Noah

🖼 Sacrifice of Noah, 1509
Fresco
170 × 260 cm
Vatican, Italy

Warm earth tones and muscular figures fill this fresco as Noah kneels before an altar, his family and animals arranged in careful balance. This scene establishes the covenant narrative on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, demonstrating Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and compositional harmony within religious storytelling.
