Genesis 4 · A biblical story interpreted from the Renaissance to modern art

Cain and Abel offer painters a founding story about jealousy, fraternal violence, fault and the weight of conscience.

In the fourth chapter of Genesis, Cain and Abel are the sons of Adam and Eve. Cain cultivates the land while Abel guards the herds. When Abel's offering is favorably received, jealousy leads Cain to kill his brother. God questions him, condemns him to wandering and imposes a protective mark on him. The artists remember different moments: the offerings, the march towards the scene of the crime, the confrontation, Abel's body, flight or remorse. Tintoretto, Rubens, Luca Giordano, Teniers, Tissot, Corinth and Redon renew this subject by favoring movement, anatomy, chiaroscuro, landscape or interiority in turn.

Course & style

Journey, subjects and pictorial language

The sacrifice

Two offerings trigger the conflict

The difference in welcoming gifts gives rise to jealousy, anger and a feeling of injustice in Cain. This milestone sheds light on the "Cain and Abel" collection by favoring atmosphere.

Murder

Fraternal violence becomes irreversible

Face-to-face allows painters to explore gesture, fall, effort and dramatic tension.

The judgment

Wandering, marking and conscience extend the story

After Abel's death, the question of fault shifts the drama from the body to responsibility.

Body in struggle

Diagonals, twists and shortcuts give fratricide immediate energy. This trait guides a reading of "Cain and Abel" centered on the atmosphere.

Chiaroscuro

Light isolates decisive gestures and transforms the landscape into a moral scene.

Selected moment

Before, during or after the murder, each moment produces a different reading of the story.

Remorse and wandering

Cain's face and posture allow one to explore fear, denial, guilt or despair.
