## Commentary

The Old Testament subject of the painting: after the Flood, as a thanksgiving, Noah built an altar and made sacrifice. Stylistically, this canvas may be closely associated with Martinelli&#39;s acknowledged masterpiece of Belshazzar&#39;s Feast in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
