Michelangelo's 'The Ancestors of Christ: Asa' is a fresco from the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted between 1508 and 1512. It depicts a family group with anatomical precision and emotional intensity, rendered in muted earth tones.
This fresco panel, titled 'The Ancestors of Christ: Asa', is part of Michelangelo's extensive decoration of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, executed between 1508 and 1512. The series of lunettes depicts the ancestors of Christ, tracing his lineage as described in the Gospels. Each lunette features a family group, rendered with Michelangelo's characteristic anatomical precision and emotional intensity. The 'Asa' lunette presents a scene of domestic intimacy and quiet drama. A woman in a red dress and yellow sleeves, her head covered with a white cloth, leans protectively over a child. The figures are set within the architectural framework of the lunette, with painted pilasters and a triangular pediment. Above, nude figures painted in bronze tones flank a central cartouche. The fresco's palette is restrained, with muted earth tones and subtle gradations of light and shadow, creating a sense of depth and volume. The figures' expressions and gestures convey a sense of weariness and resignation, reflecting the human condition and the weight of history.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Michelangelo
Had his nose broken by a classmate at thirteen, carved David from a marble block two other sculptors gave up on, and painted the Sistine ceiling standing up.
