Description: | Signed: yes Description: This painting depicts the meeting between Isaac and his future wife, Rebecca (Genesis 24), a scene which was rarely painted. Isaac, who has left his horse with a servant, is shown bending to greet Rebecca who dismounts from a camel. Many attendants are gathered about the couple and a lengthy procession of figures with camels and mules wends its way down the hillside. Scenes of processions were particularly popular with Gargiulo, who often treated a biblical subject as a landscape or everyday-life scene. | Subjects: | donkey mule); figure; landscape; religion (Isaac and Rebecca) horse dog animal (camel | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Gargiulo, Domenico (Italian painter and draftsman, 1609 or 1610-ca. 1675) Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8542... | Go to resource |
