Michelangelo Buanorroti in the last year of his work in the chapel painted a wonderful fresco "The Sacrifice of Noah." The images of this creation convey to the viewer the mournful tragic notes of everything that happens.
Shocked by the large number of victims in the turbulent floods of the World Flood, overflowing with a sense of nobility for his salvation, Noah and his family are in a hurry to make a sacrifice to the Lord God. If in the characters that are placed in the formwork, one feels a mood of peace, quiet sadness, contemplation, then in the lunettes the heroes are seized with anxiety, anxiety. The state of rest sharply turns into stupor and stiffness.
In writing the ancestors of Christ, where feelings of kinship and inner solidarity would seem appropriate, Michelangelo conveyed completely different experiences to the viewer.
One part of the participants in this scene is embraced by cold indifference, the other part experiences feelings of mutual alienation, outright hostility and distrust. In some characters, such as a mother with a child and an old man with a staff, sorrow is smoothly replaced by tragic despair.
Thanks to all the efforts of Noah, God promised him no longer to punish, thus, humanity. From now on, the earth will be saved for fire.
And Noah made a sacrifice to the Lord; and he took from every cattle the purest and from all the birds of all clean, and he offered them as a burnt offering on the altar.
And the Lord felt a pleasant fragrance, after which he said in His heart: I will never curse the whole earth for a man again, because the designs of the human heart are evil from his youth and his stupidity; and I will no longer amaze all living things, as I did before: from now on and on all days of the earth, harvest and sowing, heat and cold, winter and summer, night and day will not stop.
