"Ancestors of Christ - Zerubbabel with Parents and a Brother" is a fresco by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, painted as part of a series depicting the genealogy of Jesus on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Commissioned by Pope Julius II and completed between 1508 and 1512, Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most famous and significant works in the history of Western art.

The fresco of Zerubbabel, which is one of the lunettes, or semi-circular frames, that run along the upper portion of the chapel's walls, illustrates a scene from the Old Testament. Zerubbabel was a biblical figure, a descendant of King David and an ancestor of Jesus Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew. He played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile and is often seen as a symbol of hope and restoration in Judeo-Christian tradition.

In Michelangelo's depiction, Zerubbabel is shown with his parents, Shealtiel and an unnamed mother, as well as a brother. The figures are rendered with the sculptural solidity and anatomical precision that are characteristic of Michelangelo's work. The fresco is notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and shadow, to create a sense of depth and volume.

The "Ancestors of Christ" series serves as a prelude to the central narratives on the ceiling, which depict scenes from the Book of Genesis. Michelangelo's portrayal of Zerubbabel and his family contributes to the overarching theme of the ceiling, which is the divine providence and salvation history leading up to the coming of Christ.

As one of the lesser-known works on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the fresco of Zerubbabel with his parents and brother is nonetheless an integral part of Michelangelo's monumental achievement, reflecting the artist's mastery of form, composition, and theological symbolism.
