About the piece

Painted in 1662 by Adam Colonia, this Dutch Golden Age work depicts the moments before the biblical flood. A rich variety of animals—from domestic poultry and cattle to exotic camels—are rendered with careful naturalism, populating a rugged landscape that leads the eye toward the distant silhouette of the ark under a soft, amber sky.
