The Ark 1695 - 1705

"The Ark" by Lodewijk Tieling, painted between 1695 and 1705, depicts the biblical story of Noah’s Ark. The painting features a detailed and vibrant landscape, with lush greenery, majestic mountains, and a sky filled with birds. The centerpiece is a large tree, filled with birds perched among its branches, a visual representation of the animals entering the Ark. The scene also includes a diverse array of animals in the foreground, including lions, horses, cows, and sheep. The painting is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
