16 BASSANO NOAH S SACRIFICE.jpg
16 Bassano Noah s sacrifice Noah's Sacrificec. 1574Oil on canvasStaatliche Schlösser und Gärten, Potsdam-Sanssouci This work is typical of Bassano's mature painting. The painter uses the biblical episode of Noah coming out of the ark to paint yet again a huge number of animals. This type of composition, where the subject is obviously only an excuse for painting the countryside and nature, especially animals, was a huge success in the art market of the day. Jacopo Bassano and his sons continued to produce many such scenes. ....Web Gallery Of Art
