Lunette XI, depicting Jesse, David, and Solomon, is one of the series of lunettes painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti as part of the decorative scheme for the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Created between 1508 and 1512, these lunettes adorn the upper portion of the chapel's walls, just below the ceiling and above the windows. Michelangelo's work in the Sistine Chapel is widely considered a cornerstone of High Renaissance art, and the lunettes are an integral part of the chapel's iconography.

The eleventh lunette in the sequence, Lunette XI, features the ancestors of Jesus Christ as listed in the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew. This particular lunette illustrates three significant biblical figures from the Old Testament: Jesse, King David, and Solomon. Jesse is depicted as the father of David, and Solomon is shown as David's son, emphasizing the lineage that leads to the birth of Christ. The figures are rendered with Michelangelo's characteristic mastery of human anatomy and expression, encapsulating the artist's ability to convey complex theological ideas through powerful visual narratives.

The lunettes were part of a larger commission by Pope Julius II, who sought to renovate the chapel and commissioned Michelangelo to paint the ceiling. The overarching theme of the ceiling's iconography is the salvation of humanity, as prefigured in the Old Testament and brought to fulfillment in the New Testament. The inclusion of the ancestors of Christ in the lunettes ties into this theme, creating a genealogical link that connects the Old Testament figures to the promise of salvation through Jesus.

Michelangelo's work on the lunettes, including Lunette XI, is notable for its innovative use of fresco technique, dynamic compositions, and the emotional intensity of the figures. The lunettes, along with the rest of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, were restored in the late 20th century, revealing the original vibrancy of Michelangelo's color palette and the exquisite detail of his brushwork.

As a part of the Sistine Chapel, Lunette XI and its companion pieces are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and remain one of the most visited and studied works of art in the world, attracting millions of visitors each year and continuing to influence artists and art enthusiasts alike.
