EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration of Noah's Ark, taken from the Golden Legend compiled by Jacobus de Voragine and published by William Caxton in 1483. The woodcut image, created by an English School artist in the 15th century, depicts a pivotal moment in the biblical story of Noah and the Great Flood. In this scene, we witness various animals entering the massive ark as they seek refuge from the impending catastrophe. A deer gracefully steps aboard while birds soar above, finding solace on its sturdy roof. A majestic lion stands proudly at one end of the vessel, alongside a cunning fox and peaceful sheep. Even a cow finds safety within its walls. The intricate details of this woodcut bring to life both the urgency and hope that permeate this ancient tale. As rain pours down relentlessly outside, Noah diligently fulfills his divine mission to save Earth's creatures from destruction. This powerful image serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with stories that explore themes of rescue and salvation. It also highlights our deep connection with wildlife and our collective responsibility to protect it. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured through photography, we are transported back in time to witness one man's unwavering faith amidst chaos—a testament to human resilience against nature's wrath and God's promise for renewal.
