Caïn venant de tuer son frère Abel - Cain After Killing His Brother Abel
 
***
 
This riveting sculpture in the autumn-kissed Jardin des Tuileries was created by French artist Henri Vidal in 1896 and depicts the biblical figure Cain in extreme despair after murdering his brother Abel out of profound jealousy, as described in the Book of Genesis, the first recorded act of fratricide in Judeo-Christian scripture.
