Noah's Sacrifice of Thanksgiving [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEMBERGER, Kaspar the Elder]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 128 x 166 cm ## Commentary Noah's Ark Cycle: 5. Noah's Sacrifice of Thanksgiving 1588 Oil on canvas, 128 x 166 cm Residenzgalerie, Salzburg The brilliant composition, minute execution and balanced use of colour evidence the artist's Dutch-Italian training. He took over individual elements of the narrative from the <A onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/b/bassano/jacopo/2/07noahsa.html'\)" HREF="/html/b/bassano/jacopo/2/07noahsa.html">depiction of the flood by Jacopo Bassano,</A> without, however, copying the work of this eminent representative of late Renaissance painting in Venice. Memberger translated these elements into his own native idiom, differing from Bassano in his depiction of richly dressed people rather than humble beings, and his use of a visual vocabulary appropriate to the lofty tone of the court. ## Related artworks - [Noah's Ark Cycle: 1.
