About the piece
Created circa 1625 by Alessandro Turchi, 'The Flood' is a compelling example of Italian Baroque painting. The work showcases Turchi's skill in anatomical rendering and dramatic lighting as it depicts figures in various states of rescue and desperation. The dark, atmospheric palette and dynamic composition create a sophisticated, high-impact piece for traditional interiors.
