Description

De Zondvloed. In een landschap geteisterd door watersnood probeert een grote menigte van mensen zich vast te klampen aan de ark van Noach of zich te redden met boten en vlotten. Op het dak van de ark zitten vogels. In de verte ligt een stad aan de voet van een fantastisch gebergte. Bovenaan in de lucht vier windkoppen. De voorstelling gaat terug op verschillende 15e-eeuwse Italiaanse prenten.
