Plaquette met Noach die de Ark betreedt before 1628

This bronze plaquette by Hans Jacob Bair, made before 1628, depicts the biblical story of Noah entering the Ark. The round, three-dimensional composition, featuring a multitude of figures, is a testament to Bair's talent for detail and his ability to render a dynamic narrative. The plaquette, now located at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, stands as a fine example of Renaissance-era artistry and its enduring appeal to religious themes.
