EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Cologne Bible, created in 1478, depicts the iconic biblical story of Noah's Ark. The image showcases the immense wooden vessel floating upon the vast expanse of water during the Great Flood described in Genesis. The intricate details of this German artwork bring to life the magnitude and significance of this ancient tale. The colossal ark dominates the scene, its sturdy structure standing as a symbol of hope amidst chaos. Animals representing various species are seen boarding two by two, illustrating Noah's mission to save all living creatures from destruction. A dove is shown flying above, carrying an olive branch in its beak—a sign that land has finally emerged after weeks at sea. This woodcut beautifully captures both religious and historical elements, making it a significant piece for those interested in Christianity and Judaism alike. Its depiction serves as a reminder of God's covenant with humanity and his promise to never again unleash such devastation upon Earth. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back centuries to witness Noah's bravery and faithfulness unfold before our eyes. It is through art like this that we can appreciate how stories from ancient texts continue to inspire awe and wonder even today.
