"The Building of Noah's Ark" is a fresco attributed to the Italian High Renaissance master Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio of Urbino), painted around 1518 as part of a series of wall decorations for the Vatican's Apostolic Palace. The fresco is located in the Room of the Segnatura, one of the four Raphael Rooms, which are famous for their extensive and influential fresco work. Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II to decorate the rooms, and the works are considered some of his greatest achievements.

The fresco depicts the biblical story of Noah from the Book of Genesis, in which God commands Noah to build an ark in preparation for a great flood that would wipe out all life on Earth except for those on the ark. The narrative captures the moment of construction, with Noah and his sons engaged in the laborious task of assembling the large vessel that would ensure the survival of humanity and the animal kingdom.

In "The Building of Noah's Ark," Raphael's mastery of perspective and human anatomy is evident. The composition is dynamic, with figures positioned in various states of movement, reflecting the intensity and urgency of their work. The fresco is also notable for its use of chiaroscuro, the contrast of light and shadow, to create a sense of depth and volume.

While the fresco is attributed to Raphael, it is believed that his workshop, including his students and assistants, played a significant role in its execution, as was common practice at the time. Raphael's ability to orchestrate such complex projects and his influence on his contemporaries and successors is part of his lasting legacy in the history of art.

"The Building of Noah's Ark" is an exemplary work of the High Renaissance, showcasing the period's characteristic emphasis on harmony, balance, and the idealization of the human figure. It remains an important piece within the canon of Western art and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
