About the piece

Created in 1814 by Joseph Anton Koch, this oil on panel painting is a hallmark of the heroic landscape tradition. It depicts the biblical patriarch Noah and his family offering a sacrifice of thanks after the Great Flood. The scene is teeming with pairs of animals—including lions, elephants, and peacocks—set against a vast mountainous terrain and a brilliant double rainbow that symbolizes the divine promise.
