Description: | This painting is an interpretation of the parable of the prodigal son (Luke 15. 21-24). In the centre left the son, dressed in rags and barefoot, kneels before his father asking to be forgiven. The father, in contrast to the son, is dressed in a rich crimson robe and green overgarment. He reaches down to embrace his son in forgiveness. Two servants follow the father's instructions: to the left of the son, one brings him the 'best robe', and, in the bottom right, the other kills the fatted calf for the banquet. | Subjects: | cat animal (calf dog monkey); figure; landscape; religion (Return of the Prodigal Son); buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bassano, Francesco, II (Italian painter, 1549-1592) Æ Attributed to Previously attributed to Bassano, Jacopo, il vecchio (Italian painter and draftsman, ca. 1510-1592) Previously attributed to Bassano, Leandro (Italian painter, 1557-1622) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8541... | Go to resource |
