Légende

St. Paul Preaching to the Athenians, c1620-1624. Scene from early Christianity, set amid fantasy architecture, mysteriously lit under dark skies. The small scale of the figures makes the buildings seem enormous. De Nomé has imagined the ancient streetscapes of Athens as lined with sculpture and rich architectural ornament. A circular pagan temple stands next to a lavish entrance to a synagogue, with a statue of Moses at the left that appears to be adapted from the famous Well of Moses of 1395-1404 by Claus Sluter in Dijon.
