EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Drunkenness of Noah" a hand-coloured woodcut created by an unknown artist in the 15th century. The artwork, measuring 14.3x22.4 cm, is housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. In this biblical scene, we witness Noah and his three sons—Shem, Japheth, and Ham—in a moment that reveals both humanity's flaws and divine redemption. As the title suggests, Noah is depicted in a state of intoxication after consuming wine made from grapes grown on his vineyard. The image portrays the consequences of Noah's drunkenness as he lies sprawled on the ground while his sons observe him with concern and compassion. This powerful representation reminds us that even righteous individuals can succumb to temptation and make regrettable choices. "The Drunkenness of Noah" serves as a reminder of our shared human experience—a poignant reflection on sin, redemption, and familial bonds within Christian theology. It draws upon themes found in the Old Testament Bible story where Noah's actions lead to significant repercussions for himself and future generations. Through its intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life by hand-colouring techniques, this historic woodcut invites viewers to contemplate their own vulnerabilities while seeking forgiveness and understanding from those around them—an enduring message that transcends time.
