Description de l'oeuvre

This exquisite 18th-century oil painting by Lodovico Buffetti, a distinguished artist from Verona, depicts the biblical story of Rebecca, a revered figure in the Old Testament. Rich in Baroque dynamism and Rococo elegance, Buffetti masterfully composes a scene of dramatic interaction and emotional depth, capturing the moment when Rebecca offers water to the servant of Isaac—an event symbolizing divine guidance and predestined love.Buffetti’s refined brushwork and vibrant color palette bring a theatrical quality to the composition, where light and movement direct the viewer’s gaze across the expressive faces and gestures of the figures. The interplay of rich drapery, architectural elements, and pastoral scenery enhances the depth and grandeur of the narrative.
