Noah's Sacrifice 1902

"Noah's Sacrifice," painted by James Tissot in 1902, depicts the biblical account of Noah offering a sacrifice after the great flood. The painting features a detailed depiction of the ark in the background, with Noah and his family standing before a stone altar, offering up their thanks for their survival. The rainbow, symbolizing God's promise never to flood the earth again, arches above, creating a sense of peace and hope. Tissot's realistic style, often characterized by meticulous details and historical accuracy, contributes to the painting's powerful and enduring image.
