Flask with scenes of Noah's intoxication, unknown Italian artist, 1540s.

On this flask from an unknown artist in the 1540s, Noah falls helplessly to the ground, overcome by too much wine. Ham laughs at his father's embarrassing drunken state, while the other two sons, Shem and Japheth, avert their eyes. They will not share in Ham's derision of their father.

Again, the artist has shown all the men in this picture naked. Lack of clothes was not the problem. It was Ham’s lack of respect for his father and his willingness to promote the mockery of him as he lay unconscious that was the pivotal offense calling forth God's punishment. Ham, who laughed, would be the father of the Canaanites, despised enemies of the Hebrew people.
