Description
This is a reproduction of Two of Each Kind Entering Noah's Ark, oil on canvas circa 1560 by Italian Renaissance painter Jacopo Bassano, 1510-1592, which depicts Father Noah's assistants helping to load two of each kind of animal into the ark to save them from the imminent great biblical flood.Jacopo Bassano, known also as Jacopo dal Ponte, was an Italian painter who was born and died in Bassano del Grappa near Venice, and took the village as his surname. Trained in the workshop of his father, Francesco the Elder, and studying under Bonifazio Veronese in Venice, he painted mostly religious paintings including landscape and genre scenes.
Noah's Ark is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative through which God spares Noah, his family, and examples of all the world's animals from a world-engulfing flood. The story in Genesis is repeated, with variations, in the Quran, where the Ark appears as Safinat Nūḥ and al-fulk.
