The painting titled 'Manoah and his wife, offering a sacrifice, saw the angel of the Lord flying in the flame (Judges, XIII, 17-23)' is a compelling example of a Religious painting that captures a biblical moment with vivid storytelling. Its style leans towards Naïve art (primitivism), characterized by simple, direct forms and expressive qualities.
