"The Drunkenness of Noah" is a notable illuminated manuscript page created by the French artist Jean Colombe (circa 1430–1493). Colombe, renowned for his detailed and vibrant illuminations, was active during the latter part of the 15th century, a period that witnessed a flourishing of manuscript decoration in the waning years of the medieval era. This particular artwork is part of a larger body of work that illustrates biblical scenes, a common subject for manuscript illumination in the Middle Ages.

The illustration depicts the biblical episode from the Book of Genesis, in which Noah, having survived the Great Flood, plants a vineyard, makes wine, and becomes inebriated. His subsequent vulnerability and the actions of his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, lead to a curse and blessing that would have lasting implications for their descendants. Colombe's interpretation of this scene is significant for its intricate detail, use of color, and the insight it provides into the cultural and artistic context of the time.

Jean Colombe's "The Drunkenness of Noah" is housed within a larger manuscript, which may be a Bible or a biblical commentary, and is characteristic of his style, which often included elaborate borders, decorative initials, and a keen attention to the emotional expressions and interactions of figures within the narrative. The work is an important example of Colombe's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of late 15th-century French illumination.

The manuscript page not only serves as a religious and moral teaching tool but also as a reflection of the societal values and artistic trends of the time. It is a testament to the skill and creativity of Jean Colombe, whose contributions to the art of illumination are still appreciated for their beauty and historical significance. The piece remains an object of study for art historians and enthusiasts of medieval art, offering a window into the devotional practices and aesthetic preferences of the late Middle Ages in France.
