The Deluge 1531

"The Deluge" is a stained glass window created by Valentin Bousch in 1531. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Noah's Ark, with the ark sailing through a turbulent sea in the top portion of the window. Below, figures scramble to escape the rising waters, while a man kneels in prayer. This impressive window, which is over 11 feet tall, is an example of early Renaissance stained glass art and is now on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
