Description : Melchisedek accoglie Abramo

Oil painting on canvas. The scene proposes an episode from the Bible in which a priest, who offers the bread and wine from the altar, and a leader with his army meet. It could be Melchizedek, king and priest of Israel, who welcomes Abraham returning from the war expedition undertaken to free his nephew Lot, the unarmed young man at the bottom right, who had been taken prisoner by the kings of the East. The setting is in a verdant European countryside, while the characters wear the typical clothes of their era, in particular the priestly dress of Melchizedek stands out. The canvas, restored, was applied on a modern stretcher. It is presented in a 19th century frame.
