So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. Genesis 12:7

A faithful depiction of a scene from Genesis 12:7, common in the Renaissance era art. In the forefront, a devout man is meticulously constructing an altar, using stones and wood. The atmosphere is solemn, tranquil, and filled with reverence. While no figure of the Lord is visible, His divine presence is indicated by a radiant light emanating from above, illuminating the man and the altar. The painting should remain respectful and devotional to Christianity using the elements of gold colors, the presence of sacred objects, and a sense of transcendent divinity typically seen in pre-1912 religious artwork created in tempera and oil.
