Noach door zijne Godsvrugt groot / Werd dus geholpen uyt de Nood 1767 - 1793

"Noach door zijne Godsvrugt groot / Werd dus geholpen uyt de Nood" (Noah through his piety was great / was therefore helped out of trouble), created by Erven Hendrik van der Putte between 1767 and 1793, is a hand-colored etching depicting the biblical story of Noah's Ark. The scene showcases Noah kneeling and holding a branch of an olive tree, a symbol of God's mercy, while the ark, filled with animals, floats on the floodwaters. This print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a visual interpretation of a well-known religious tale, emphasizing God's favor towards the righteous and the power of faith in overcoming adversity.
