"Pendentive - Punishment of Haman" is one of the frescoes painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. Created between 1508 and 1512, this particular fresco is part of a larger scheme of decoration commissioned by Pope Julius II, which includes the iconic scenes of the Creation, the Fall of Man, the story of Noah, and the Ancestors of Christ, among others.

The "Punishment of Haman" is located on the pendentive, an architectural element that allows for the placement of a circular dome over a square room or space. Michelangelo's use of the pendentive is notable for its innovative incorporation of the curved surface into his expansive narrative. This fresco depicts the story from the Book of Esther in the Old Testament, where Haman, the royal vizier to King Ahasuerus, is executed on the gallows that he had originally prepared for Mordecai, a Jew who refused to bow to him.

In Michelangelo's portrayal, the figures are imbued with a sense of drama and tension, characteristic of his dynamic and muscular style. The composition is complex, with the central figure of Haman bound and hanging from the gallows, while other figures react to the scene with a range of emotions from despair to vindication. The fresco serves as a powerful example of Michelangelo's mastery of human anatomy and his ability to convey narrative through the interaction of figures within a space.

The "Punishment of Haman" is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its thematic resonance within the Sistine Chapel's broader iconographic program, which reflects on themes of justice, divine retribution, and the moral consequences of human actions. As part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, this work is recognized as one of the greatest achievements of Western art and continues to attract millions of visitors and art enthusiasts from around the world.
