We just learned about Michelangelo's painting of the Sistine Chapel - The Sacrifice of Noah.
Another part of the Sistine chapel's ceiling is The Great Flood.
Right next to the painting of Noah's sacrifice is the painting of the ark, showing Noah and his family safe on the ark, while the rest of the world is flooded.
