The Tower of Babel: people's failed attempt to reach heaven.
description
The painting is about the Tower of Babel. The story is from the Bible, and it tells how the people of the world tried to build a tower to reach heaven. God was not happy with this, and he confused their language so that they could not understand each other. The people had to stop building the tower, and they were scattered all over the world. The painting shows the tower under construction, with people working on it. There are also people on the ground, some of whom are running away from the tower. The painting is a reminder that people should not try to reach heaven by their own efforts. It is also a reminder that God is always in control.
