    help identifying this great painting *found!

    it's a photo my friend took at the louvre, too bad he took it exactly when the lady was obscuring the sig.
    maybe someone knows ? thanks.

    Someone else may have a quick answer, but if not you can always try doing a search in the Louvre Databases (note you'll need to put your queries in French, so run them through a translator if you need to), or try the new image search TinEye.

    It reminds me of Theodore Gericault but I'm pretty sure it's not him... If it can help I guess the leader is Moses, maybe you can find searching this way...
    It's so frustrating I saw it and can't remember the name!

    Indeed, he is not Moses but Cain. Appologies!
