Tintoretto's two paintings of identical size, The Meeting of Tamar and Judah, as well as The Annunciation to Manaoh's Wife describe two episodes in the Old Testament. These bold compositions place the figures in the immediate foreground, to the extent that they almost seem to emerge from the pictorial space. The V-shaped compositions leave a space in the centre for a dramatic landscape which recedes into the far distance.
