Michelangelo - Sistine Chapel - The Drunkenness of Noah


We just learned about Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel - The Great Flood.

Another patt of Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel is The Drunkenness of Noah.

In the Bible after the flood, Noah was a farmer and grew some grapes.
When these grapes turned to wine he drank some and got drunk, and fell asleep.

Michelangelo's painting shows Noah's wife working, and then Noah asleep on the ground while his sons are arguing near him.
