Scenes From The Life Of Noah
''Scenes from the Life of Noah'' are a pair of frescoes painted in 1436–1440Ref? (or around 1447) by Paolo Uccello in the Chiostro Verde (Green Cloister) of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. Like the other frescoes in that cloister, they deal with stories from the Book of Genesis and are painted in monochrome tempera with ' as pigment, that referred to the authority of antique bronze sculpture, and gave the cloister its name. The upper work in the semicircle of the lunette depicts ''The Flood and The Waters Receding'' (215 × 510 cm), with two symmetrical views of Noah's ark, which seem to be a single scene due to the common vanishing point in the upper center. The larger rectangular work beneath shows ''The Sacrifice and Drunkenness of Noah'' (277 × 540 cm). Ham in profile under the much admired pergola with grapes mocks his drunken father while his brothers Sem and Japhet cover Noah's naked body.

Dello Di Niccolò Delli
Dello di Niccolò Delli ( 1403 – c. 1470), also known as Dello Delli, Dello di Niccolò and Dello, was an Italian sculptor and painter from Florence. His father was a tailor named Niccolò di Dello. Painters Nicola Delli and Sansone Delli were his less famous younger brothers. In 1424, Niccolò Delli was sentenced to death for abandoning his post and fled to Siena with his family. In 1427, the family fled again―this time to Venice. From 1430 to 1433, Dello is known to have been in Florence. From 1433 to 1445 he lived in Spain, working in the Court of King John II of Castile, where he was knighted. His works include the apse cycle in the Old Cathedral of Salamanca. In 1446 he probably worked at Naples in Castel Nuovo Castel Nuovo (; "New Castle"), often called Maschio Angioino (; "Angevin Keep"), is a medieval castle located in front of Piazza Municipio and the city hall ( Palazzo San Giacomo) in central Naples, Campania, Italy.
