EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of "Entry of the animals into Noah's ark" by Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, dating back to the 17th century. In this baroque masterpiece, three men can be seen following a procession of quadrupeds and birds as they stride towards the majestic ark in the background. The image is etched with intricate details, showcasing Castiglione's skillful portrayal of action and movement. Amidst bad weather and stormy skies, one male figure points the way for both humans and animals alike, symbolizing guidance and hope during times of adversity. This biblical narrative from the Book of Genesis depicts Noah's departure into his refuge amidst a devastating flood that engulfed humanity. The panoramic view offers a glimpse into an era steeped in Christian beliefs, where rescue and salvation were sought through faith. Cows, deer, horses, sheep, stags - all find their place within this grand transport vessel as they seek shelter from nature's wrath. As we gaze upon this heritage art piece housed at The Met museum today, it serves as a powerful reminder of our shared religious history. It invites contemplation on themes such as faithfulness to divine commands or finding solace amidst chaos. Castiglione masterfully captures not only the physicality but also evokes emotions through his use of contrasting tones in this monochromatic composition. This timeless artwork continues to inspire awe and reflection on our relationship with nature while reminding us of
