Description : L'ingresso degli animali nell'arca di Noè.

Oil on canvas, in its original canvas. The painting is attributable to a Flemish artist who worked in Italy for his structure; the figures have a clearly Nordic appearance, but the general arrangement and the landscape remind of Italian painting. The great scene sees the large Ark in the centre, towards which the animals are directed and are getting on, every species is in a pair ad in harmony with each other, as told in the biblical Book of Genesis; on the right, there are the only human figures, Noah with his family, ready to get on board of the Ark. The whole upper half of the piece is dominated by a sky full of restless birds and grey clouds, a foreshadowing of the impending deluge, even if a ray of sunshine illuminates Noah from a tear in the clouds, a sign of the divine presence and protection towards him. The piece, in its original canvas, is presented in a frame in style.
