About the piece

Attributed to the Neapolitan master Pacecco De Rosa, this Baroque masterpiece depicts the biblical Sacrifice of Noah. The composition is marked by dynamic gestures and a sophisticated use of chiaroscuro, with a striking ultramarine blue robe in the foreground and a luminous golden ewer that anchors the dramatic scene. The work demonstrates the high emotional tension and technical refinement characteristic of Italian religious painting of the period.
