Steve agreed.

This is a picture so you can see the perspective how big these images really are.

Actually, unless I miss my guess, those are guys looking at a drunk Noah.

Drunk indeed. But as with most things religious the painting is full of allegory.

https://www.michelangelo.org/drunkenness-of-noah.jsp

Here is some of the allegory:
According to Genesis, "Ham saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren who were without. An Shem and Japeth took a garment, and laid it out upon both their shoulders, and went backward, covered the nakedness of their father, and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness."


It's still a large painting... :fg:
