Default Trying to identify this painting

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to identify a painting from one of my favourite computer games. The painting is in the background of one of the character's stages. A lot of the stages in the game feature real famous landmarks and it looks like this is one of them, but I just don't know what the painting is. On the left hand side of the painting there is a mostly-naked man with dark hair crouching and looking to his left. In the middle there is a large dark orange/red sphere below a thin light-coloured rectangular bar. I've found a couple of pictures online that show the painting in the background:

Any help in identifying this painting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Figures on the side of "the birth of Eve", just on the middle of the ceiling of the Sixtin Chapel, by Michelangelo.
Who says that videogames are not cultural vehicle?
