We're delighted to welcome Venetian artist Jacopo Bassano's 16th-century painting "The Miracle of the Quails" into the Getty collections. A grand scale painting rarely seen by the wider public, it depicts an episode of the Miracle of the Quail in the Old Testament. "The Miracle of the Quails" is an example of Bassano's artistic style and his juxtaposing of historical subjects with everyday people. In the painting, high priests Aaron and Moses are portrayed on the left in close conversation. The rest of the canvas is occupied by an animated and naturalistic depiction of the people of Israel who gather the birds that have miraculously fallen from the sky. Bassano's range of colors is notable, with floral rose, pallid green, chocolate brown, and lustrous white, applied with a fluid pattern of improvised brushstrokes. . . . 🏷 #GettyMuseum #GettyCenter #ArtHistory #ItalianArt #VenetianArt #Colors #Canvas #Art #OldTestament #16thCentury Image: The Miracle of the Quails, 1554, Jacopo B...
