EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 7th century, known as "N. A. L 2334 fol. 10v Noah's Ark". The artwork is part of De Tours Pentateuch, an illuminated manuscript created by the French School and currently housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. The image depicts the iconic biblical story of Noah's Ark with intricate details and vibrant colors. Amidst a backdrop of swirling floodwaters, we see Noah's ark standing tall as various animals seek refuge within its sturdy walls. A pair of snakes slither nearby while a dove gracefully carries an olive branch in its beak, symbolizing hope and peace after the devastating flood. The artist skillfully captures each animal species represented on this ancient vessel - lions exude strength and majesty, camels display resilience, scorpions embody danger lurking amidst chaos, and ravens soar above with their dark feathers contrasting against the sky. This illuminated manuscript serves as both a religious artifact and a testament to early Christian artistry. Its Byzantine influences are evident through meticulous attention to detail and use of Latin script throughout. As we admire this extraordinary piece through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate not only its historical significance but also its portrayal of humanity's enduring fascination with wildlife and our collective desire for salvation during times of turmoil.
