Cain Slaying Abel
1750
From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Cain Slaying Abel is a 1750 by Unknown, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows two men in a dim, rocky setting. The larger man stands with one arm raised, gripping a jagged rock. The smaller man kneels in front of him, looking up with wide eyes. Both are bare-chested, and the lighting makes their skin glow against the dark background. The bigger man’s face looks tense, while the smaller one’s expression is full of fear. The rough textures of the rock and the men’s muscles stand out clearly. This looks like it uses chiaroscuro.
