The Biblical Story of Abraham Rescuing Lot on the
Painted Ceiling, Parma Baptistry, Emilia-Romagna, Italy



'Chedorlaomer defeated by Abraham', mid 13th-century painted ceiling in the Baptistry, Parma. Such scenes portray the ideal of European cavalry combat with lances, though here only the first knight on the left is using his lance in the approved couched manner.
