Gian Battista Tiepolo (1696-1770)

"The Sacrifice of Melchisedech"
(1740) m10x5.5
Melchisedech lifts up a loaf of bread as an offering.
On the right there are the wariors, holding their banners,
on the left the people with the victims for the sacrifice
and in the upper part some angels among the clouds.

"The Fall of the manna"
(1740) m10x5.5
Moses, on a rock, lifts up his hands.
Behind him the tent, the Jewish chiefs and priests.
The angels are pouring manna from heaven.
In the foreground the crowd is picking up the heavenly food
