Abstract (en)
Examines Old Testament figures as disguised portraits, mainly in painting of the 16th and 17th cs. Argues that these are hidden, donor, or ruler portraits, based on analogies of virtue, rank, name or events; and identifies three groups: rulers and military leaders portrayed as biblical kings and commanders; wedding and family scenes, primarily in the Protestant Netherlands, identifying groups as the new chosen people; and representations of Judith and Holofernes or David and Goliath, suggesting the artist's self-representation or personal erotic meanings.
