"Zerubbabel - Abiud - Eliakim (detail-1)" is a fresco segment painted by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti between 1511 and 1512. This work forms part of the larger scheme of the Sistine Chapel ceiling in Vatican City, which was commissioned by Pope Julius II and is considered one of Michelangelo's masterpieces and one of the greatest achievements in Western art.

The fresco depicts three figures from the Old Testament, specifically from the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Matthew. Zerubbabel was the governor of the Persian Province of Judah and the grandson of King Jehoiachin of Judah. Abiud is listed as Zerubbabel's son, and Eliakim is noted as Abiud's son, though little is known about these latter figures from the biblical texts. Michelangelo's portrayal is part of a series of ancestors of Christ that run along the lunettes and spandrels surrounding the central ceiling narratives.

In this particular segment, Michelangelo demonstrates his mastery of human anatomy and the use of fresco technique to convey depth and emotion. The figures are imbued with a sense of dignity and strength, characteristic of Michelangelo's style, and are depicted with a high degree of realism. The fresco is also notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and dark to achieve a three-dimensional effect, which was innovative at the time and contributed to the development of High Renaissance art.

The Sistine Chapel ceiling, including the "Zerubbabel - Abiud - Eliakim" detail, was painted at great physical strain to Michelangelo, who worked on the scaffolding high above the chapel floor. The frescoes have undergone several restorations, the most recent being completed in 1994, which have helped preserve the vibrancy of Michelangelo's colors and the detail of his work for future generations to appreciate.

As a part of the Sistine Chapel ceiling, the "Zerubbabel - Abiud - Eliakim" fresco is visited by millions of people each year and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic significance and its place within the broader narrative of biblical history as interpreted by Michelangelo.
