MICHELANGELO Buonarroti: Zerubbabel – Abiud – Eliakim

🖼 Zerubbabel – Abiud – Eliakim, 1511-12
Fresco
215 × 430 cm
Vatican, Italy

Rendered in fresco across the Sistine Chapel ceiling, three generations of Christ's lineage appear in monumental form with bold modeling and Renaissance restraint. These genealogical figures anchor Michelangelo's theological narrative, connecting Old Testament ancestry to Christian redemption through meticulous compositional logic.
