Baccio Bandinelli - 1530


Something about Noah's sons getting him drunk and then getting him naked has appealed to artists of various types over the centuries.  This relief version is by Baccio Bandinelli from 1530.

    1. Yes, it is. As a Sunday school dropout, I know who Noah was, but don't know the details of the story.

    2. Ham encouraged his brothers, Japheth and Shem, to view their naked father. Ham then went to live the life of a prodigal son….:(
