EDITORS COMMENTS
by Etienne Delaune captures the biblical tale of Noah's Ark with remarkable detail and symmetry. This engraving on ivory laid paper transports us back to 16th century France, where the artist skillfully depicts the catastrophic event that reshaped humanity. In this artwork, we witness a country devastated by relentless flooding as torrential rain pours from a darkened sky. The floodwaters rise ominously, engulfing everything in its path. Amidst this chaos, Noah's Ark stands tall as a symbol of hope and salvation. Delaune's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. From the intricate engravings on the boat's canopy to the expressions on people's faces, each element contributes to an immersive experience that brings this ancient story to life. As survivors cling desperately onto their only means of escape, we are reminded of the power of faith and resilience in times of adversity. "The Flood" serves as a testament to human endurance throughout history and invites contemplation about our own capacity for survival amidst challenging circumstances. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print showcases Delaune's artistic prowess while also serving as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage. It prompts us to reflect upon timeless themes such as divine intervention, human nature, and our relationship with nature itself. Etienne Delaune’s masterpiece continues to captivate audiences centuries later with its powerful portrayal of one of humanity’s most enduring stories - reminding us
