About this work
In the background, the building of the Tower of Babel. Around the tower, clouds and lightning, symbolizing God's wrath. In the foreground, people of various races and types. They try to work on the tower but cannot understand each other's language. Some hold tablets with different kinds of scripts. On the right, people are already fleeing from Babylon.
