EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning coloured woodcut from the Nuremberg Bible, depicting Noah's Ark as described in Genesis 6:11-24. Created by the German School in the 15th century, this piece of religious art is now part of a private collection. The image transports us back to biblical times, where we witness Noah and his family diligently constructing the massive ark amidst a world engulfed by flooding waters. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate designs. As we explore this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to various animals seeking refuge on the ark - dogs, cats, sheep, birds, peacocks - all gathered together under one roof. Even mythical creatures like mermaids find their place within this extraordinary scene. The floodwaters rise ominously around them while people clutch walking sticks and canes for support. Yet amid chaos and destruction, there is hope. The ark stands tall and sturdy on dry land—a symbol of safety amidst turmoil. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of faith and resilience in times of adversity. It invites contemplation about humanity's capacity for survival and renewal even when faced with overwhelming challenges. Through its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this coloured woodcut captures both the essence of an ancient biblical tale and the enduring power of religious devotion throughout history.
