Leonardo Corona, The Collection of the Manna



1590
Oil on canvas
Church of San Giovanni Elemosynario, Venice

Moses is the figure in the gold-colored tunic and pink scarf. Two narrow "horns" emanate from his head, his usual attribute. Behind him in the horned "holy crown" is Aaron. Judging from her prominence, we might assume that the large female figure in the bottom left quadrant is Miriam. The incident portrayed here is found in Exodus 16 (cached).
