EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Noah and his family on the way to the ark" takes us back to the 17th century with its exquisite Flemish artistry. Created by Frans Francken II, this masterpiece depicts a biblical scene from Noah's story as he prepares for the great flood. The composition showcases Noah and his family embarking on their journey towards salvation aboard a majestic wooden ark. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each animal meticulously painted alongside them - swans gracefully glide in front of the boat while cygnets follow closely behind. Birds soar above, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we notice couples walking hand in hand amidst the procession of animals. A woman wearing a turban stands out among them, her presence exuding strength and determination. A parrot perches upon her shoulder while a loyal dog accompanies another figure nearby. The artist skillfully captures various species such as elephants, lions, sheep, camels, and cows within this harmonious tableau. Towering trees provide shade and shelter along their path as they carry essential supplies for their voyage. Francken's use of vibrant colors brings life to every brushstroke; it is evident that religion played a significant role in inspiring this piece. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to faith during challenging times.
