Noah Sailing in his Ark is a notable illustration from the Zubdat al-Tavarikh (literally "Cream of Chronicles"), a historical manuscript completed after 1583 by the Ottoman historian and calligrapher Lütfi Pasha, with illustrations attributed to the artist Ashur Luqman-i. This work, commissioned by the Ottoman Sultan Murad III, represents a comprehensive history of the world as known to the Ottomans, covering not only Islamic history but also pre-Islamic periods, including biblical stories and figures, among which the narrative of Noah and his ark is prominently featured.

The illustration of Noah Sailing in his Ark is significant for its artistic and cultural value, reflecting the Ottoman Empire's rich tradition of manuscript illumination and the synthesis of different cultural influences within its art. The depiction of Noah's Ark, a story shared among the Abrahamic religions, is rendered with the meticulous detail and vibrant colors characteristic of Ottoman miniature painting of the late 16th century. This piece not only serves as a visual representation of the biblical narrative but also provides insight into the Ottoman perspective on religious and historical themes, showcasing the empire's artistic achievements and its role in the preservation and interpretation of shared human heritage.

Ashur Luqman-i, attributed with the creation of this and other illustrations within the Zubdat al-Tavarikh, is recognized for his contributions to the Ottoman art of the period. His work on this manuscript exemplifies the high level of skill and creativity found in Ottoman court-sponsored art, contributing to our understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of the time.

The Zubdat al-Tavarikh, as a whole, and the illustration of Noah Sailing in his Ark, in particular, remain subjects of interest for historians, art historians, and scholars of Islamic art, offering valuable insights into the historical narratives, artistic traditions, and cultural exchanges of the Ottoman Empire.
