These frescoes are from the Raphael Loggia at the vatican in Rome that consist of 13 arches forming a gallery 65 meters long and 4 meters wide.

Construction was started by Bramante in 1512, under Pope Julius II and was completed by Raphael Sanzio (1483-1520) under the reign of Leo X. The pictorial work was initiated in 1517.
The 52 scenes on the ceilings of the loggia are still popularly referred as "The Raphael Bible"

Then God said to Noah: "Go out of the ark, together with your wife and your sons and your son's wives. Bring out with you every living thing that is with you - all bodily creatures, be they birds or animals or creeping things of the earth - and let them abound on the earth, breeding and multiplying on it." (GENESIS 8:15-17) |
