Features

NOAH ENTERING THE ARK by Jan van Kessel the Younger (Dutch 1654-1708), 89 X 56 cm, oil on panel. This is a copy of similar works by Piet Breughel and Jan Breughel the Younger, examples of which may be found in the National Galleries of London and Budapest and  the Prado, Madrid. The small size of the ark was simply an excuse for the artist to paint animals and give the work a respectable title of biblical origin.  Some of the animals were originally depicted thus by Rubens and copied by the Breughels - then a common practice.
