Description: | This picture represents the Bible story of Abigail. It shows her kneeling to make a peace offering to the bandit chief David, who had come to punish her husband for not providing food for David's troops. David later became King of Israel and also became Abigail's second husband. The twisting, elongated figures, the bright pastel colours, and the strong lighting are characteristic of the Mannerist style developed by artists at Utrecht in the Netherlands. The picture is a copy, perhaps by a pupil, of a painting by Joachim Wttewael. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement artists oil paintings animals art men natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
