Prompt:
A majestic, classical oil painting on aged canvas, depicting Noah's Ark as animals prepare to board before the great flood. The artwork appears centuries old, with visible cracks in the paint and areas where time has worn away some details. In the foreground, Noah and his family stand close to the viewer, dressed in ancient robes, their expressions filled with determination and faith. Their features are rendered with the soft, textured brushstrokes of an old master. The middle ground is alive with movement as exactly two of each animal - lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, birds, and more - gather in an orderly procession. Each pair walks side by side, with some already ascending the wooden ramp while others wait patiently below. The colossal Ark looms in the background, its massive wooden structure painted with deep, earthy tones, blending with the dramatic sky above. Dark storm clouds swirl ominously, while golden rays of light break through, illuminating the scene with a divine glow. On the edges of the scene, patches of dry land covered with lush green vegetation frame the composition, adding depth and contrast to the impending flood. The entire painting has a rich, textured surface with visible cracks, faded pigments, and areas of peeling paint, enhancing its antique, museum-quality appearance. The composition evokes a timeless, biblical grandeur, as if it were a rediscovered masterpiece from the Renaissance or Baroque period.
