William Blake 1757 – 1827
Cain flees
mixed techniques on panel (32 × 43 cm) — 1825
This work is linked to Genesis 4:13
Also known as The Body of Abel Found by Adam and Eve.
In 1822 Blake wrote a short story addressed to Lord Byron, who had just published a play on Cain. Blake called it The Spirit of Abel. A Revelation in the Visions of Jehovah, Seen by William Blake. The opening act: "A rocky country. Eve fainted over the dead body of Abel which lays near a grave. Adam kneels by her, Jehovah stands above."
This depiction of that scene was made years later. The burning sun, the dark clouds, the stripes of the wind all emphasize that Cain has just been cursed and that he'd better run.
Blake had a dislike for oil paint. He often experimented with techniques from the pre-Renaissance epoch. For this mahogany panel he used pen and ink and tempera over gold. Unfortunately the mixture turned out to bleach. This photo shows digitally enhanced colours.
Michiel Coxcie 1499 – 1592
The Death of Abel
oil on canvas (151 × 125 cm) — c. 1550
This work is linked to Genesis 4:13
After having killed his brother Abel, Cain is cursed by God and runs away.
In the background are the brother's offerings of which God choose to accept only one. on Abel's body lies the murder weapon: the jawbone of an ass.
Somewhat mediocre painting by Coxcie, made after his return from Italy in 1539.
l Tintoretto 1518 – 1594
Cain and Abel
oil on canvas (149 × 196 cm) — 1550-53
Galleria dell'Accademia, Venice
This work is linked to Genesis 4:8
Cain and Abel were sons of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer, Abel was a shepherd. They both brought sacrifices before God, but Cain's offering was rejected. Cain then killed Abel.
Cain was cursed and spent the rest of his life wandering in the land Nod, east of Eden.
Tintoretto was a follower of Michelangelo and Titian. He painted in a style called mannerism, which followed after the Renaissance. The figure of Abel in this painting shows some resemblance to the Abel in Titian's depiction of Cain and Abel.
Pieter Lastman ca. 1583 – 1633
The Lamentation of Abel
oil on panel (67 × 94 cm) — 1623
This work is linked to Genesis 4:13
Adam and Eve mourn for their son Abel, who was slain by his brother Cain.
The smoke on the right comes from the fire the brothers must have lit to make their offerings. Abel's sheep are still around.
The identity of the other figures is unknown. Perhaps Lastman added them to emphasize the tragic character of the scene. Without them it all might seem too peaceful.
Bertram of Minden ca. 1340 – 1414/15
Cain and Abel bring offerings
mixed techniques on panel (84 × 56 cm) — 1383
This work is linked to Genesis 4:3
God accepts the sheep Abel brings, but completely ignores Cain's offering. Cain couldn't quite cope with that rejection.
Abel was a shepherd, his brother Cain worked the land.
The panel is from the Grabow Altarpiece, Master Bertram's main work.
Titian 1487/90 – 1576
Cain and Abel
oil on canvas (298 × 282 cm) — 1542-44
Santa Maria della Salute, Venice
This work is linked to Genesis 4:8
Please scroll down to read more information about this work.
Abel is slain by his brother Cain.
Abel's leg, his left arm and Cain's curved body form part of a circle that makes the picture very dynamic. The effects of the dark sky and the threatening Cain are emphasized by the perspective, which suggests a low point of view.
The painting is now in the church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice. It was originally made as a ceiling painting for the Santo Spirito in Isola. Titian made two other ceiling paintings for that church, one on David and Goliath and one on the Sacrifice of Isaac.
Jan Lievens 1607 – 1674
Cain kills Abel
woodcarving (42 × 32 cm) — c. 1640
This work is linked to Genesis 4:8
Cain was jealous of his brother Abel because God had accepted Abel's sacrifice and rejected Cain's. Out of anger he killed Abel.
Abel leans on his bended right arm and uses his left arm in an effort to stop his brother.
This print was made when Lievens lived in Antwerp, from 1635 to 1644. In Antwerp prints were popular among artists and buyers, so Lievens decided to pick up the skill he had ignored while in London (1633-35). He even learned a new technique: the woodcut.
