The Sacrifice of Noah, c. 1640
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that depicts the biblical scene of Noah leaving the ark after the great flood. Created by Sebastien Bourdon in 17th-century France, this masterpiece measures an impressive 171x227 cm and currently resides in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Arras. In this dramatic composition, we witness Noah standing before an altar with his hands raised in prayer and gratitude towards God. Surrounding him are various animals, including a majestic lion, horses, birds, and even a ram. The smoke from the burning sacrifice fills the air as clouds gather overhead. The artist skillfully captures both the solemnity and joyousness of this momentous event. As Noah steps out onto dry land once again, he embraces freedom while giving thanks for his survival and that of all living creatures aboard the ark. Notably present is a vibrant rainbow stretching across the sky—a symbol of hope and divine promise. It serves as a reminder to humanity that God will never again destroy life on Earth through such catastrophic means. Bourdon's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life—whether it be the texture of fur or feathers or capturing emotions through facial expressions. This print allows us to appreciate his artistic mastery while reflecting on themes of faith, sacrifice, gratitude, and renewal found within this powerful Old Testament story.
