The Biblical Story of Abraham Rescuing Lot on the
Painted Ceiling, Parma Baptistry, Emilia-Romagna, Italy
'Chedorlaomer captures Lot', on the mid-13th century painted ceiling of the Parma Baptistry in Italy. Here the mailed horsemen on the right wear relatively light armour of a kind suited to the hot climates of Italy or the Latin States, but which would by now have been regarded as old-fashioned in France or England. Chedorlaomer is portrayed in archaic and unrealistic Roman armour.
