"Noah and the Ark" is a notable wood engraving by the English artist Eric Gill (1882–1940), created in 1929. This work is part of a series of engravings that Gill produced on biblical themes, reflecting his deep engagement with religious subjects throughout his career as an artist and sculptor. As a devout Catholic, Gill's faith often informed his artistic output, and "Noah and the Ark" is a prime example of how he infused his religious convictions into his art.

The engraving depicts the biblical story of Noah from the Book of Genesis, in which God commands Noah to build an ark to save his family and a pair of every animal species from a worldwide flood sent to purge the earth of its wickedness. Gill's representation of this narrative is characterized by his distinctive style, which combines elements of modernism with a reverence for medieval craftsmanship, particularly that of the Gothic tradition.

In "Noah and the Ark," Gill's attention to detail and his ability to convey the texture of wood through his engraving technique are evident. The composition likely showcases a range of expressive figures and animals, each rendered with a simplicity that belies the complexity of the scene. The work is emblematic of Gill's broader oeuvre, which often grapples with themes of salvation, divine judgment, and the relationship between humanity and the divine.

As with many of Gill's engravings, "Noah and the Ark" would have been produced in a limited edition, making original prints valuable to collectors of religious art and enthusiasts of Gill's work. The piece is also of interest to scholars studying the intersection of modern art and spirituality, as it exemplifies how artists of the early 20th century engaged with ancient texts and traditional narratives in new and innovative ways.

Eric Gill's contributions to the field of visual arts extend beyond his engravings; he was also known for his typeface designs, including the widely used Gill Sans, and for his controversial personal life. Nonetheless, "Noah and the Ark" stands as a testament to his artistic legacy and his capacity to interpret and visualize complex theological themes through the medium of printmaking.
