This fresco, "The Prophet Joel," is one of the panels on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted by Michelangelo between 1508 and 1512. The prophet is depicted seated and reading from a scroll, his intense focus emphasizing his divine inspiration. The figure of Joel is powerful and dramatic, typical of Michelangelo's style, and is accompanied by a putti figure in the background, representing the divine message carried by the prophet.
