About the Item
Oil on Canvas. Northern-Italian school of the 17th-18th centuries.
The widely known biblical scene of the quarrel between the two brothers, sons of Adam and Eve, which later results in the fratricide of Abel at the hands of Cain, is here depicted within an Italian landscape, rich in vegetation, with the complement of two particular fires.
In fact on either side of the two figures, which occupy the center of the scene, there are two pyres of the sacrifice with a burning fire: however, while from Abel's, on the left, a high smoke rises that comes sucked up by the clouds above it, indicating that God accepted such a sacrifice, whereas Cain's fire is low, almost crushed on the embers, and no smoke rises from it, a sign that God rejects it.
The red color of Abel's tunic is also meant to emphasize his sacrificial value, his martyrdom.
The painting needs cleaning.
In style frame.
