Naaman Washing in the Jordan, unsigned, inscribed verso panel "A. Carracci" (Annibale Carracci, Italian,  1560-1609), oil on canvas, 11-1/8 x 7-7/8 in.; unframed
Notes: Now Naaman was commander of the army of the king of Aram. He was a great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded, because through him the Lord had given victory to Aram. He was a valiant soldier, but he had leprosy....Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his robes, he sent him this message: Why have you torn your robes? Have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel. So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elishas house. Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed. 2 Kings 5:1-10 in part
