Originally depicted in an illustration from Hartmann Schedels' Nuremberg Chronicle, this 1903 colorised print brings new life to the ancient tale.

Men and boys alike are seen sawing timber, hammering nails, and supervising every detail with unwavering focus. This image beautifully captures their commitment to their job as they prepare for what lies ahead. Religion plays a prominent role in this scene as it symbolizes the biblical story of Noah and his divine mission. The ark itself stands tall as a testament to faith and obedience amidst impending catastrophe. The vibrant colors added to this century-old engraving enhance its visual impact while preserving its historical essence. Through this colorisation process, we gain a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate illustrations during the fifteenth century.
