"The Flood"

Michelangelo Buonarroti (i) - Oil (i) - High Renaissance (i)
It is one of the most famous paintings on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. A flood myth or deluge myth is a mythical story of a great flood sent by a deity or deities to destroy civilization as an act of divine retribution. It is a theme widespread among many cultures, though it is perhaps best known in modern times through the biblical and Quranic account of Noah's Ark, the Hindu puranic story of Manu, through Deucalion in Greek mythology or Utnapishtim in the Epic of Gilgamesh.
