Drunkenness of Noah

Drunkenness of Noah is a painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Bellini.

It is kept in the Museum of Fine Arts and Archeology of Besançon, France.

The cup and the bunches of grapes next to him, and the vineyard in the background, suggest that Noah is drunk.

Shem and Japhet (left and right) avert their eyes and cover their father with a red cloth.

The work refers to Genesis 9:20–23 20 In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden.
