Description of Artwork

The Invitation is the second dramatic release in Tom duBois’ celebrated Noah's Ark series. Captured in the artist's signature hyper-realistic, narrative-driven style, the composition portrays Noah actively gathering animals as dark, mist-filled storm clouds gather on the horizon. Every detail in the scene is steeped in biblical symbolism and meticulous craft—duBois famously hand-designed and sewed actual physical costumes for all human models depicted in his paintings to achieve unmatched fold realism and historical authenticity. The lush, fog-shrouded backdrop features subtle iconography, including a protective angel watching over the charges amidst the dense trees.

Printed as a large-format master serigraph directly onto canvas, the colors remain deep, resonant, and vibrant. Because the perimeter impression resides roughly 1.25" inside the canvas edge, it is located directly in the natural trim/wrap or lip area, making it easy to obscure under standard stretching, custom framing, or liner placement.
