"Noah Cursing Ham" is an artwork by the French artist Gustave Doré, known for his detailed and imaginative illustrations. Gustave Doré (1832–1883) was a prolific engraver, artist, illustrator, and sculptor, who worked primarily with wood engraving and steel engraving. Doré's work often tackled biblical, literary, and historical subjects, and "Noah Cursing Ham" is one of the pieces that reflect his interest in religious themes.

The artwork depicts the biblical story of Noah cursing Ham, found in Genesis 9:20-27. According to the narrative, after the flood, Noah became a farmer and planted a vineyard. He drank wine made from his vineyard and became drunk, and lay uncovered inside his tent. Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. In response to this act, Noah cursed Ham's son Canaan, condemning him to be "a servant of servants" to his brothers.

Doré's interpretation of this scene is characterized by his attention to detail and dramatic use of light and shadow, which is typical of his illustrative style. The artwork captures the moment of Noah's curse, often emphasizing the emotional intensity and moral implications of the scene. The figures are rendered with a sense of weight and volume, and the expressions on their faces convey the gravity of the situation.

As an illustrator, Doré was known for his grand scale and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art. His illustrations for the Bible, which include the "Noah Cursing Ham" piece, were part of a larger body of work that made a significant impact on the visual culture of the 19th century and influenced the way biblical stories were depicted in art and popular media.

The work is part of Doré's larger portfolio of biblical illustrations, which were widely disseminated and acclaimed in his time. They contributed to the popularization of biblical stories and were instrumental in shaping the visual imagination of the Victorian era. "Noah Cursing Ham" is an example of Doré's mastery in translating the written word into powerful visual imagery, and it continues to be recognized for its artistic and cultural significance.
