Oil on canvas. Northern Italian school of the 17th-18th century. The well-known biblical scene of the dispute between the two brothers, sons of Adam and Eve, which then results in the fratricide of Abel by Cain, is depicted here within an Italian landscape, rich in vegetation, with the addition of two particular fires. In fact, on the sides of the two figures, which occupy the center of the scene, there are two sacrificial pyres with a fire lit: however, while a high smoke rises from Abel's, on the left, which is sucked up by the clouds above it, indicating that God has accepted this sacrifice, instead Cain's fire is low, almost crushed on the embers, and no smoke rises from it, a sign that God rejects it. Even the red color of Abel's tunic wants to emphasize his sacrificial value, his martyrdom. The painting needs cleaning. In a stylish frame.
