More celebrates the beauty and power of nature in this work. It is based on a biblical story in which God unleashes a flood to wash away evil, saving only Noah, his family, and a male and female of all the world’s animals. The light radiating from the centre of the composition illuminates the figures in the foreground and suggests that all is not lost.
