THE PAST THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE
THE PAST THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE. Do you know what message this famous painting, titled the 'Deluge Scene' is intended to convey? You see a person trying to save his father and completely ignoring his wife and kid (son) who are closer to him. The wife represents the present life, the son the future. On the other hand, the father represents the past, which the man chooses to cling to, thus losing his present life and future. A perfect metaphor of what generally works out in life. Scene of the deluge, 1827 by Joseph Désiré (1797-1865)
