On the Sistine Chapel ceiling, this is one of the Old Testament prophets that foretold Christ’s coming. Through time we’ve been looking at how symbolism is changing. Can you look at this picture and guess who the prophet is? </div><div><img id="id_bad3_ad8a_7e41_417f" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/34eL3F80Frv6n4BOZINfih5O_P6zNA7kiKu6LnVaQaWypzpvn4HQvo3sStr_Ahs" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 531px; height: auto;"><br>SPOILER ALERT! The fish. Jonah. The interesting thing here is that Michelangelo wasn’t content with just painting a figure. As in all his work he wanted to create a figure at a particular moment. An example is his sculpture David - at the very moment he was coiling his muscles and scrutinizing Goliath as he contemplated the kill (vastly different from all sculptures of David that went before.) </div><div><br></div><div>So, Jonah? Can you see here that God’s telling Jonah to go, and Jonah is struggling with ‘No, I don’t want to do that! I... think I’ll run away... I’m going to fight this...’ Every fiber of his being in this painting is struggling with God. Only got Jonah into, uh, deep trouble, wouldn’t you say?
