Home›History, Religious and Mythological Paintings›Old Testament and Biblical HistoryGroupOld Testament and Biblical HistoryPaintings depicting a specific episode from the Hebrew Bible and its narrative history: the Creation and the Garden of Eden, the Flood, the patriarchs, the Exodus, the kings and prophets of Israel, and the apocryphal historical books such as Judith and the Maccabees. This group is kept separate from Christian Religious Scenes because these subjects belong to a shared Jewish and Christian scriptural history rather than specifically Christian doctrine or devotion, and excludes a New Testament or saint's-life subject, which belongs under Christian Religious Scenes instead.FactsOld Testament and Biblical HistorySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonNarrative CategoryWell-attestedReligious 1Old Testament and Biblical HistoryFilter Results31 entriesCreatorAllArtemisia Gentileschi (1)Michelangelo (2)Art FormAllPainting (2)MovementAllCaravaggism (1)High Renaissance (1)Renaissance (1)MediumAllEgg tempera and gold leaf on wood panel (1)Fresco (13)Oil on canvas (4)Oil on oak panel (1)Oil on panel (2)Oil paint on panel (1)Paint on concrete (1)Tempera (1)Year CreatedAll1425 (1)1508 (1)1512 (2)1518 (1)1530 (1)1607 (1)1613 (1)1630 (1)1654 (1)1659 (1)1978 (1)GenreAllPainting (30)GroupAllOld Testament and Biblical History (31)PlaceAllBelgium (2)Italy (3)Netherlands (1)BrowseCompareSelect all 31Altarpiece of the Holy SacramentHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsAssumption of the Virgin (Correggio)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsBathsheba at Her Bath (Rembrandt)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsDelivery of the KeysHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsDescent from Mount Sinai (Sistine Chapel)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsDrunkenness of NoahHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsExpulsion from the Garden of EdenHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsEzekiel's Vision (Raphael)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsGhent AltarpieceHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsGreat Wall of Los AngelesHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsJacob's Ladder (Moskos)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsJeremiah Lamenting the Destruction of JerusalemHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsJudith Slaying HolofernesHistory, Religious and Mythological Paintings3 linksMoses Breaking the Tablets of the LawHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsMoses Leaving for EgyptHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsProphet Daniel (Michelangelo)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsProphet Isaiah (Michelangelo)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsProphet Jeremiah (Michelangelo)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsProphet Joel (Michelangelo)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsPunishment of the Sons of KorahHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsSanta Trinita MaestàHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsSeparation of Light from DarknessHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsSistine Chapel CeilingHistory, Religious and Mythological Paintings4 linksSusanna and the Elders (Rubens)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsTestament and Death of MosesHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsThe Creation of AdamHistory, Religious and Mythological Paintings1 linkThe Expulsion of Heliodorus from the TempleHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsThe Last Judgment (Klontzas)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsTheotokos of KurskHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsTrinity (Andrei Rublev)History, Religious and Mythological PaintingsYouth of MosesHistory, Religious and Mythological PaintingsSources1.
