Michelangelo
DATE 1509
AUTHOR Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (1475, Caprese - 1564, Roma)
MATERIAL Fresco -Ceiling painting
SIZE Unknown
LOCATION (Italy - Rome) - Vatican City - Sistine Chapel
NOTES The picture shows the nude at the upper right corner of 1he Drunkenness of Noah (above the Delphic Sibyl).

The four ignudi in the first bay are the first figures of that kind in the Chapel. The modeling of these contains passages of chiaroscuro displaying greatest contrast than those in the following bays. This lends them an air of hardness.
