MARTINELLI, Giovanni
(b. ca. 1600, Montevarchi, d. 1659, Firenze)

The Sacrifice of Noah

-
Oil on canvas, 168 x 196 cm
Private collection

The Old Testament subject of the painting: after the Flood, as a thanksgiving, Noah built an altar and made sacrifice.

Stylistically, this canvas may be closely associated with Martinelli's acknowledged masterpiece of Belshazzar's Feast in the Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
