MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Joel

🖼 Joel, 1509
Fresco
355 × 380 cm
Vatican, Italy

Rendered in fresco, Joel sits in contemplative pose, his muscular form twisting dramatically against the Sistine chapel vault. This prophetic figure exemplifies Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and psychological depth, influencing Renaissance ideals of divine inspiration made visible through the body.
