Abstract:
"The Tower of Babel, a biblical narrative, has been a muse for various artistic interpretations. Historical depictions have showcased a diverse range of styles and creative expressions. Surprisingly, there has yet to be a cinematic representation that integrates the most renowned historical paintings. An exploration of multiple visual effects techniques including destruction aims to deliver a compelling visual experience with Pieter Bruegel's painting from 1563 titled The Tower of Babel." --Abstract
