Noah Leaving the Ark
1650
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Noah Leaving the Ark is a 1650 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This painting shows a busy scene of people and animals near a rocky hill and a small building. A group of figures stands around a covered wagon, while others herd sheep, goats, and a camel. Birds fly in the sky, and a horse is being led by a man in red. The colors are warm and earthy, with greens, browns, and blues blending together. The title *Noah Leaving the Ark* suggests this is about the biblical story of Noah and his family after the flood. The mix of animals and people fits that idea, even though the camel might seem unusual for that tale. If you like this kind of storytelling in art, look up chiaroscuro next.
