After the Deluge is an
oil painting by English artist
George Frederic Watts. Completed in 1891, it shows a scene from the story of
Noah's Flood, in which
Noah opens the window of
his Ark to see that after 40 days the rain has stopped. The
Symbolist painting is a stylised
seascape, dominated by a bright
sunburst breaking through clouds. Watts intended to evoke a
monotheistic God in the act of creation, without depicting the Creator directly. The unfinished painting was exhibited at a church in
Whitechapel in 1886, under the intentionally simplified title of The Sun. The completed version was shown for the first time at the
New Gallery in 1891 and was admired by Watts's fellow artists. It influenced many painters who worked in the two decades following. Between 1902 and 1906 the painting was exhibited around the United Kingdom. It is now in the collection of the
Watts Gallery in
Compton, Guildford, Surrey. (Full article...)
