MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Perez – Hezron – Ram

🖼 Perez – Hezron – Ram, 1511-12
Engraving
Vatican, Italy

Rendered in ochre and shadow, three male figures occupy a Sistine Chapel spandrel, their genealogical connection traced through Renaissance draftsmanship. This ancestral lineage from Christ's family tree exemplifies Michelangelo's integration of Old Testament narratives into Christian theology's visual hierarchy.
