"Drunkenness of Noah" is a fresco painted by the renowned Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1509, which forms part of the larger scheme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City. Commissioned by Pope Julius II, the ceiling's artwork is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of High Renaissance art. The "Drunkenness of Noah" is one of the nine central panels that run along the center of the ceiling and depict scenes from the Book of Genesis.

This particular panel illustrates the biblical episode immediately following the Great Flood, where Noah, having survived the deluge, plants a vineyard, makes wine, and becomes inebriated. The scene captures the moment of Noah's vulnerability and his sons' reactions to his drunken state, which leads to the cursing of Ham's son, Canaan, and has been interpreted as a reflection on sin and grace.

Michelangelo's fresco is notable for its dramatic composition, powerful figures, and emotional intensity. Surrounding the central narrative are ignudi, or nude male figures, which are depicted in various poses and serve as a display of Michelangelo's skill in rendering the human form. These figures are believed to symbolize the human soul and the potential for both sin and redemption. Additionally, the fresco includes painted medallions that contain images of mythological figures or scenes, which provide a pagan counterpoint to the central Judeo-Christian narrative.

The "Drunkenness of Noah" is admired for its artistic innovation and its complex interplay of themes, including human frailty, divine judgment, and the potential for salvation. Michelangelo's work on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, including this fresco, has had a profound influence on the development of Western art and continues to be studied and revered for its aesthetic achievements and its profound theological and philosophical implications.
