"Zechariah" (detail-1) is a fresco painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1509. This work is part of the larger series of frescoes that adorn the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, which Michelangelo was commissioned to paint by Pope Julius II. The fresco of Zechariah is one of the seven Old Testament prophets painted by Michelangelo along the central spine of the ceiling and is situated between the scenes from the Book of Genesis.

The prophet Zechariah is depicted with grandeur and solemnity, characteristic of Michelangelo's figures, showcasing the artist's mastery of human anatomy and expression. The figure of Zechariah is seated, holding a scroll, and is accompanied by two smaller figures, likely representing angelic beings or putti, which are common in Renaissance art. The prophet's intense gaze and the intricate details of his flowing robes and beard exemplify Michelangelo's ability to convey both the physical and psychological presence of his subjects.

Michelangelo's frescoes on the Sistine Chapel ceiling are widely regarded as some of the greatest masterpieces of Western art. The frescoes were painted in a demanding technique known as buon fresco, where pigments are applied to wet plaster, requiring the artist to work quickly and with great precision. "Zechariah" (detail-1), along with the other figures of prophets and sibyls, forms a powerful theological and artistic narrative that reflects the Renaissance interest in the human form, biblical themes, and the revival of classical antiquity.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, including the "Zechariah" fresco, has been subject to various restorations over the centuries, the most recent and comprehensive of which was completed in the 1980s and 1990s. This restoration brought renewed attention to Michelangelo's color palette and technique, revealing the vibrancy and detail that had been obscured by centuries of grime and overpainting. Today, the fresco of Zechariah continues to be admired by millions of visitors to the Sistine Chapel and remains a testament to Michelangelo's enduring legacy as an artist.
