Gideon's Sacrifice, detail – Fontebasso


Gideon, one of the Hebrew Judges from the Old Testament, initiates a sacrifice to the Lord, which an angel completes: "The angel of the Lord put forth the tip of the rod, which he held in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and there arose a fire from the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened loaves: and the angel of the Lord vanished out of his sight." -Judges 6:21. Artwork by Fontebasso
