This painting is called 'Deluge scene.' You see a person trying to save his father and completely ignoring his wife and kid (son), who is closer to him. The wife represents the present life, the son the future, and the grandfather, on the other hand, represents the past, which the man clings to. Thus losing his present life and future. A perfect metaphor for what many go through daily. Scene of the deluge, 1827, by Joseph Désiré (1797-1865)
