Scene uit de zondvloed 1833

"Scene uit de zondvloed" (Scene from the Flood) is a terracotta sculpture by Louis Royer, created in 1833. The sculpture, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, depicts a dramatic scene of a man rescuing a woman from the biblical flood. The figures are realistically rendered with a strong emphasis on their physicality and the emotional intensity of the moment. Royer's work, notable for its emotional and dramatic realism, captures the chaos and despair of the biblical event.
