EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat" transports viewers back to the year 1570. Created by Simon de Myle, a talented artist of the Northern Renaissance period, this masterpiece measures an impressive 114x142 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The artwork depicts the biblical story of Noah's Ark with intricate detail and precision. The majestic ark stands tall atop Mount Ararat, surrounded by a wilderness of mountains. A fantastical landscape unfolds before our eyes as exotic beasts such as lions, unicorns, giraffes, and griffins roam freely alongside more familiar creatures like elephants and birds. Meticulously painted scenes within the composition reveal both harmony and chaos. While some animals peacefully coexist in their natural habitats or engage in gentle interactions, others are shown devouring or hunting their prey with savage intensity. This juxtaposition reflects the delicate balance between creation and destruction that exists within nature. As a religious symbol deeply rooted in Christianity, Noah's Ark represents salvation amidst catastrophe. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for survival even during times of great adversity. De Myle's skillful brushwork brings this ancient tale to life while showcasing his mastery over light and color. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, we are invited to contemplate themes of faith, mythology, violence, and human existence against the backdrop of an awe-inspiring wilderness.
