Verified profile

Abigail comes before David with a load of gifts, asking forgiveness for the behavior of her husband who did not accept him, and managing to appease his anger. Giovanni Andrea De Ferrari focuses his attention on the dialogue between the two biblical "heroes": what interests him is not so much the story of the episode - the procession with the gifts is glimpsed in the background - as much as the surrender of the affections. The sentimental tone is the hallmark of many representations of the painter, who here is still very close to the naturalism of his teacher Bernardo Strozzi.
