Noah's Sacrifice; Noah at right with his hands clapsed in prayer before a fire upon an altar, two men sacrificing a ram on the ground and another bringing a second ram, two men leading two cows and a camel behind the fire 1510 - 1532

Marco Dente's "Noah's Sacrifice," a black and white engraving, depicts the biblical story of Noah offering a sacrifice to God after the great flood. The detailed composition shows Noah kneeling in prayer before an altar, with a fire burning above. Others are shown sacrificing animals to God as a sign of thanks. Dente's skilled use of chiaroscuro and intricate detail captures the drama and solemnity of the event, making this artwork a valuable representation of the biblical story and a remarkable example of Renaissance engraving.
