Noah: The Eve of the Deluge, 1848. Creator: John Linnell (British, 1792-1882)
Noah: The Eve of the Deluge, 1848. John Linnell presents a vision of the British landscape rich in spiritual and poetic associations. He draws on the biblical story of Noahs ark in which God orders Noah to build a ship to harbor his family and animals from the great flood. The English poet John Milton (1608-1674) also addressed the story in his epic poem Paradise Lost (1667), a passage from which Linnell included alongside his painting at the Royal Academy exhibition in 1848. The context for Linnells picture may represent the debate at that time between theologians and scientists over the accuracy of biblical sources. Alternatively, the awe-inspiring theme, represented most clearly in Linnells apocalyptic swirl of sky, was of longstanding interest to romantic painters and writers
