Jacob Bouttas, active around 1700, Entry into Noah's Ark. The animals have gathered in a wide landscape to enter Noah's Ark. On the bridge into the ark, highlighted by the light among the other animals, a pair of unicorns proudly stride. The numerous animals in the foreground offer the viewer a colorful spectacle. Exotic birds such as ostrich, turkey, albatross and peacock can be found. Noah with his family is on the right and directs the entry of the animals. On the mountain in the background, people are celebrating exuberantly in a village. Their sinfulness is indicated by their nakedness. A heroic mountain scenery fills the background of the picture.
