EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite 18th-century depiction of the Noah family tree, as per the Judeo-Christian biblical tradition found in Genesis. After surviving the great deluge, Noah's three sons - Japeth, Shem, and Ham - played a pivotal role in repopulating the world. The image beautifully portrays seventy-nine descendants of these sons, including notable figures such as Abraham (lower left), who holds immense significance in Abrahamic religions like Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Taken from a multi-volume collection titled "An universal history" published between 1736 and 1744 in London, this family tree offers a fascinating glimpse into ancient genealogy. It traces the lineage through Shem, Eber, and Peleg to Abram (Abraham), illustrating their connection to various regions and peoples such as Canaanites (upper right). This intricate artwork serves as a testament to religious heritage and historical importance. The monochrome illustration exudes classical charm while providing valuable insights into biblical antiquity. Its inclusion within this extensive collection signifies its relevance alongside other significant events throughout human history. As viewers delve into this visual representation of ancestry spanning centuries ago, they are transported back to an era when faith shaped lives across the Middle East. This remarkable piece not only serves as a reminder of our shared religious roots but also highlights how stories passed down through generations continue to shape our understanding of ourselves today.
