J.M.W.Turner:
The Evening of the Deluge, c. 1843
oil on canvas, 76 x 76 cm
|
While Noah and his wife sleep in their tent, the biblical Flood begins. In a spiraling vortex of rain
and moonlight, birds and beasts head toward the distant Ark. This is a preliminary version of a canvas shown in the 1843
Royal Academy. Now in London's Tate Gallery, the final work uses stronger colour contrasts but is equally evocative and
sketchy.
