Noah’s Ark (Animals in Art)

Posted in Animals in Art by

In the Judeo-Christian flood story, God became angry with the sins of mankind. He told his faithful servant, Noah, to build an ark large enough for his family (which included eight people; his wife, his three sons and their wives) and two of every creature on earth. God delivered the promised deluge, killing everyone and everything on earth except the population of the ark.

Auguste Rodin by John Singer Sargent

Posted in Artists Portraying Artists by

Sargent probably met renowned sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840–1917) in Paris in the early 1880s. They continued to meet socially for several decades and later had patrons in common…By August 1884 Rodin was reportedly working on a bust of Sargent. It was probably not completed. ~ FROM https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/21396
