The Gathering of Manna 1595 - 1596

"The Gathering of Manna" (1595-1596) is a tapestry by Alessandro Allori, depicting the biblical story of the Israelites gathering manna in the desert. The tapestry is a vibrant depiction of the scene, featuring a group of people, both men and women, gathering the manna, which is represented by white, round objects scattered across the ground. The scene is set in a landscape with a tree and a tent in the background. The tapestry is notable for its detailed figures and elaborate border, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York holds this piece.
