The "Ancestors of Christ" figures by Michelangelo Buonarroti are a series of frescoes that adorn the lunettes and spandrels of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City. Painted between 1508 and 1512, these figures are part of Michelangelo's monumental work on the chapel's ceiling, which also includes the iconic scenes from the Book of Genesis, such as the Creation of Adam and the Fall of Man. The "Ancestors of Christ" frescoes depict the genealogical lineage of Jesus Christ as outlined in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, tracing his ancestry through a series of male and female figures.

Michelangelo's approach to these figures is notable for its humanistic and expressive qualities. Each ancestor is portrayed with a unique character and emotional depth, reflecting the artist's profound understanding of human nature and his ability to convey complex psychological states. The figures are often shown in contemplative or dynamic poses, interacting with their surroundings or with other figures, which adds a narrative dimension to the otherwise static genealogical list.

The inclusion of the "Ancestors of Christ" in the Sistine Chapel ceiling serves both a theological and artistic purpose. Theologically, it underscores the human lineage of Christ, emphasizing his connection to humanity and fulfilling the biblical prophecies of the Messiah's descent from the House of David. Artistically, these figures provide a visual continuity and rhythm to the ceiling's overall composition, linking the central scenes from Genesis with the surrounding prophetic and sibylline figures.

Michelangelo's depiction of the "Ancestors of Christ" is characterized by his masterful use of foreshortening, anatomical precision, and a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. These frescoes, while perhaps less celebrated than the central panels of the ceiling, are integral to the overall narrative and artistic achievement of the Sistine Chapel, showcasing Michelangelo's unparalleled skill and his innovative approach to fresco painting.
