Claude should have named his painting scampagnata (holiday in the country), merenda sull’erba, or lolazione sull’erba (picnic on the grass). But Claude enhanced Landscape with the Marriage of Isaac and Rebecca with a biblical allusion to Genesis, 24, the details of which are wholly his own.If this is a wedding, it’s surprisingly informal and recreated in a contemporary Italian style portraying peasants picnicking and dancing lively to the music of a flute (recorder) and tambourines. A bride or groom is not identifiable. There is bread and wine but not what might be considered enough for a wedding feast.
