"Drunkenness of Noah: Shem and Japheth cover the naked body of Noah" is a 1612 etching by Crispijn de Passe the Elder, depicting the biblical story of Noah's intoxication and the actions of his sons Shem and Japheth. The scene shows Noah, naked and asleep in a tent, while his sons respectfully cover him. In the background, figures gather grapes, referencing the cause of Noah's inebriation. This detailed etching from “Liber Genesis,” a series of prints illustrating the book of Genesis, showcases de Passe's mastery of storytelling through visual narrative and intricate detail.
