"Habel: A Tale of Betrayal, Banishment, and Redemption" In the 19th century, a vivid depiction of one of history's most infamous fratricides emerged through a captivating color lithograph. The murder of Abel by his own brother Cain continues to haunt our collective consciousness as a chilling reminder of the depths to which jealousy and resentment can drive us. The tragic narrative unfolds further in an original panel from the door of Paradise. This masterpiece portrays not only the sacrificial offering made by both brothers but also captures God's ultimate punishment for Cain - banishment from his homeland. It serves as a poignant symbol of divine justice prevailing over human transgressions. Michiel Coxcie's "The Death of Abel" painting adds another layer to this timeless tale. With meticulous brushstrokes, Coxcie immortalizes Abel's demise on wood canvas, evoking profound emotions within its viewers. Housed in Madrid's Museo del Prado, this artwork stands as a testament to humanity's fascination with biblical narratives throughout history. Carstens' portrayal of Adam and Eve takes us back to the genesis itself. In vibrant tempera colors on panel, these first parents remind us that even before Cain and Abel walked upon Earth, innocence reigned supreme until temptation led them astray. Veronese brings forth yet another chapter in this saga - "The Family of Cain Wandering. " Through his artistry, he invites us into their world filled with sorrowful exile after committing an unforgivable act against kinship bonds. Veronese masterfully depicts their anguish and eternal search for solace amidst desolation. Beyond biblical tales lies C.
