"Joel (detail-1) 1509" is a fresco segment painted by the renowned Italian artist Michelangelo Buonarroti as part of the larger scheme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City. Completed between 1508 and 1512, the Sistine Chapel ceiling is one of the most famous works of High Renaissance art, and Michelangelo's depiction of the prophet Joel is among the series of biblical figures that line the central spine of the ceiling.

The figure of Joel is one of the seven Old Testament prophets painted by Michelangelo along the central axis of the ceiling. Each prophet is seated and depicted with a unique expression and posture, conveying a sense of contemplative grandeur. Joel is traditionally identified by his placement and by the inscription near his figure. The prophet is shown with a book, symbolizing his role as a writer of the Hebrew Scriptures, and his gaze seems to be directed towards the divine revelation he is receiving.

Michelangelo's portrayal of Joel is notable for its powerful use of foreshortening and the sculptural quality of the figure, which showcases the artist's mastery of anatomy and his ability to convey psychological depth. The fresco is executed with a vibrant color palette and a dynamic interplay of light and shadow, contributing to the overall drama and intensity of the scene.

As part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Joel (detail-1) 1509 is not only a significant work in Michelangelo's oeuvre but also a masterpiece of Western art that has been studied and admired for its artistic innovation and theological complexity. The fresco has been subject to various restorations over the centuries, most notably the comprehensive cleaning and restoration project completed in the late 20th century, which has allowed viewers to experience the work's original color and detail.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, including the figure of Joel, continues to attract millions of visitors each year and remains a testament to Michelangelo's genius and the enduring legacy of Renaissance art.
