Michelangelo Buonarroti biography

This work is linked to Daniel 1:1

Daniel is considered a prophet because of his power to explain dreams. Most of all he is the hero of his own book.

This is one of the frescoes showing prophets in the Sistine Chapel. It is part of Michelangelo's ceiling decoration.
