Resumo: | The current study analyzes several medieval and modern works of art that portray mythological creatures who entered Noah's ark (Genesis 6:5-9) – flying dragon-like and imaginary creatures as well as unicorns. The artists assumedly chose to portray these animals for several reasons: a) in the ancient world the existence of creatures with unusual and exceptional qualities was a commonly held belief; b) mythological animals aroused the imagination of the ancients and sparked their curiosity. |

Os artistas supostamente optaram por retratar esses animais por várias razões: a) no mundo antigo, a existência de criaturas com qualidades incomuns e excepcionais era uma crença comumente aceita; b) animais mitológicos despertaram, reiteradamente, a imaginação e a curiosidade dos antigos.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2019-05-29info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/1451910.17851/1982-3053.13.24.193-206Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG; v. 13 n. 24 (2019): Diários, correspondências, fotografias: a vida privada na cultura judaica; 193-2061982-3053reponame:Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGenghttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/article/view/14519/pdfCopyright (c) 2019 Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMGhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessShemesh, Abraham Ofir2021-03-04T16:24:00Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/14519Revistahttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/indexPUBhttp://www.periodicos.letras.ufmg.br/index.php/maaravi/oai||lyslei@ufmg.br1982-30531982-3053opendoar:2021-03-04T16:24Arquivo Maaravi: Revista Digital de Estudos Judaicos da UFMG - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
