Deus promete a Abraão multiplicar sua descendência 1799

"Deus promete a Abraão multiplicar sua descendência" (God Promises to Multiply Abraham's Descendants), painted in 1799 by the Brazilian artist Mestre Ataíde, depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis. The painting showcases God in the clouds, surrounded by angels, promising Abraham, shown kneeling on the ground, that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. The scene is a testament to the power and promises of God, and it is a powerful reminder of the covenant God made with Abraham, the father of the Jewish people. This painting is a significant example of Brazilian Baroque art, characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and dramatic composition.
