Matthias Stomer, needless to say, is a great caravaggista.
This work has such a marked balance that it will decide to use it almost identical also for other works, where it tells other stories.
In the dark lit by a candle, all borrowed from Caravaggio, the bartering of lentils with the first parents takes place. Not a striking scene but the intimacy of a domestic, familiar place. So real that you can't miss the hare hunted.
The speech is intense, you can hear it by looking carefully at the eyes of the brothers.
