"Daniel" (1511) is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Commissioned by Pope Julius II and completed between 1508 and 1512, the Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most renowned artworks of the High Renaissance. The figure of Daniel is part of a series of biblical prophets and sibyls that run along the central spine of the ceiling.

The fresco depicts the prophet Daniel, known from the Hebrew Bible, particularly from the Book of Daniel. He is traditionally seen as a symbol of wisdom and prophecy, having interpreted dreams and visions, and remained faithful to God under persecution. In Michelangelo's portrayal, Daniel is shown reading a large book, which is often interpreted as a symbol of his wisdom and his role as a prophet. The figure is muscular and youthful, reflecting Michelangelo's idealized human form, and is seated in a contrapposto pose that suggests both contemplation and readiness for action.

Michelangelo's use of dynamic movement and anatomical precision in the figure of Daniel showcases his mastery of the human form and his innovative approach to depicting biblical figures with a sense of grandeur and emotional depth. The fresco is celebrated for its artistic virtuosity and its powerful impact on the viewer, contributing to the overall narrative and theological program of the Sistine Chapel ceiling.

The "Daniel" fresco is admired for its vivid color palette, dramatic use of light and shadow, and the intricate details of Daniel's attire and the surrounding architectural elements. As part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, it has been the subject of extensive restoration efforts to preserve its original luminosity and color, which had been dimmed by centuries of candle smoke and environmental factors.

Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, including the "Daniel" fresco, has had a profound influence on the development of Western art, inspiring countless artists and earning a central place in art historical scholarship. The ceiling continues to attract millions of visitors each year and remains a pinnacle of Renaissance art and a testament to Michelangelo's genius.
