Sacrilegious Robbery

The painting “Sacrilegious Robbery” by Alessandro Magnasco depicts a group of robbers stealing from an altar in a church. The painting is striking in its composition and use of light and shadow. The robbers are shown in the foreground, with their faces illuminated by the flickering candles on the altar. Meanwhile, in the background, a figure kneels in prayer, seemingly unaware of the robbery taking place.

Magnasco was known for his skill in capturing the emotions of everyday people in his paintings. Other famous oil paintings by Magnasco include “The Seashore,” which captures the beauty of a tranquil coastal scene, and “Halt of the Brigands,” which depicts a group of bandits pausing during their journey through rugged terrain.
