"The World Before and After The Flood" (1514)
This work is linked to Genesis 8 :4
These are the inner sides of the wing panels of the Flood triptych.
On the right, Noah's ark has stranded on Mount Ararat. Noah and his family open the hatch, allowing the animals to leave the ship in pairs. In the foreground we see the drowned.
The left wing may also be considered to be a depiction of Hell. All figures are demons. In the background there is a burning city.
The central part of the triptych has been lost.
- romantisme noir, arts sombres, doom et black metal -
