Ark van Noach 18th century

This 18th century print titled "Ark van Noach" depicts a scene from the biblical story of Noah's Ark. Created by Italian artist Giovanni Volpato (1732-1803), the print features a detailed illustration of Noah kneeling before a wooden ark, with animals exiting the vessel. The scene is framed by an elaborate, rococo-style border featuring floral motifs. This work, housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases Volpato's masterful ability to blend religious narrative with artistic flourish, making it a noteworthy example of the Rococo period.
