Context:
This painting was inspired by a passage from John Milton's Paradise Lost (published in 1667) in which Noah's preparations for the flood are described:When lo! a wonder strange!Of every beast, and bird, and insect small,Came sevens and pairs, and entered in, as taughtTheir order: last the Sire, and his three sons,With their four wives; and Gad made fast the door.Meanwhile the south wind rose, and with black wingsWide hovering, all the clouds together droveFrom under heaven.At the right, animals stream into the ark as Noah and his family gaze upon the fiery sunset that preceded the flood.
