Noach bouwt de ark 1607

Giovanni Lanfranco's "Noach bouwt de ark" (1607) is a dynamic black and white etching depicting the biblical story of Noah's ark. The composition focuses on the physical labor of building the ark, with three men working diligently. Noah, standing to the left, oversees the construction while two other men, one wielding a hammer and the other sawing wood, work on the ark's framework. This etching is housed in the Rijksmuseum, and showcases Lanfranco's mastery of depicting movement and anatomical detail, typical of the Baroque style.
