"Ancestors of Christ - Jesse with his parents" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance master Michelangelo Buonarroti, painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Created between 1508 and 1512, this work forms part of a larger series of frescoes commissioned by Pope Julius II, which depict various biblical figures from the genealogy of Jesus, as outlined in the Gospel of Matthew.

The fresco illustrates Jesse, the father of King David, lying asleep with a tree sprouting from his side, symbolizing the family tree of Christ, which, according to Christian tradition, traces back to Jesse through David. The inclusion of his parents adds a layer of depth to the genealogical context, emphasizing the continuity of the divine lineage. Michelangelo's portrayal of these figures is imbued with the High Renaissance ideals of beauty, harmony, and proportion, and the work is celebrated for its artistry and its theological significance.

As part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, "Ancestors of Christ - Jesse with his parents" is located among the lunettes, which are the arched spaces just above the chapel's windows. Michelangelo's innovative use of foreshortening and perspective in these challenging spaces demonstrates his mastery of fresco technique and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

The fresco is one of several in the series that includes other ancestors of Christ, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Together, these works contribute to the overarching theme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, which juxtaposes Old Testament figures and stories with the promise of salvation through the coming of Jesus Christ. Michelangelo's work on the chapel ceiling is widely regarded as a cornerstone of High Renaissance art and continues to be studied for its artistic achievement and its profound impact on the history of Western art.
