God draagt Noach op de ark te bouwen en te betreden after 1569

This engraving by Etienne Delaune, created after 1569, depicts the biblical story of Noah building the ark. The scene is framed by a landscape with a distant city. God, in the clouds above, instructs Noah to build the ark. Noah, on his knees, is in the foreground, while animals are entering the ark. The engraving's details and the emphasis on the biblical narrative highlight its purpose as a religious work for private devotion. This print is a powerful reminder of the enduring themes of faith and the divine will found in the Old Testament.
