| Description |
English: Jagiellonian tapestry (Abel's Sacrifice from the series The Story of the First Parents) of Sigismund II Augustus (King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania), manufactured in Brussels, Flanders, circa 1550, exhibited in the Great Renaissance Hall of the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania in Vilnius in 2023.
The scene in which Abel makes his sacrifice to God has a composition divided by a great pillar of fire and smoke rising to the heavens from the sacrificial altar. On the left Abel is visibile kneeling on a stone, raising his arm to God who, accepting his sacrifice, blessed him from the clouds. Kneeling in front of him is the surprised and dumbfounded Cain, who shields himself from the heat of the fire. An angel accompanies the just Abel, while next to Cain is a personification of envy and evil – a woman with the head of a wolf hidden on her breast. These qualities of tapestry were not lost in a late replica, from about 1660, held by the National Museum – Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania. Lietuvių: Jogailaičių gobelenas (Abelio auka iš serijos Pirmųjų tėvų istorija), kurį užsakė Lenkijos karalius ir Lietuvos didysis kunigaikštis Žygimantas Augustas, o pagamintas jis buvo Briuselyje, Flandrijoje, apie 1550 m., eksponuotas Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės valdovų rūmų Vilniuje Didžiojoje renesansinėje menėje 2023 m. Scena, kurioje vaizduojama Abelio auka Dievui, kompoziciškai per pusę dalija aukštas ugnies ir dūmų stulpas. Kairėje matomas Abelis, priklaupęs ant akmens ir ištiesęs ranką Dievui, kuris jį laimina ir priima auką. Dešinėje klūpi nustebės ir susirūpinęs Kainas, rankomis besidengiantis nuo laužo kaitros. Šalia teisuolio Abelio vaizduojamas angelas, prie Kaino stovi pavydo ir blogio personifikacija – moteris, užantyje slepianti vilko galvą. Šiam gobelenui artima vėlesnė replika, sukurta apie 1660 m., priklausanti Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės valdovų rūmų muziejui. |
