Description:
|
Despite the title with Christian connotation, the painting refers to the ceremonies of Passover, which explains its dark atmosphere. Two great figures cross the upper part, above the roofs: an angel, no doubt the manifestation of the divine who blows death to the unfaithful, and a goat's head, protective symbol of the hearth, illuminated with yellow, also the color of the divine.
