"Alttestamentarische Szene" (English: Old Testament Scene) is a 17th-century oil painting by Pieter Lastman, a Dutch painter renowned for his historical and biblical scenes. Created in 1612, this work exemplifies Lastman's skill in storytelling through art, a talent that would greatly influence his more famous pupil, Rembrandt van Rijn. The painting depicts a narrative from the Hebrew Bible, though the specific story it represents is not universally agreed upon due to the lack of explicit iconographic elements.

Measuring 63 x 79 cm, "Alttestamentarische Szene" is a testament to Lastman's mastery of composition and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The painting showcases a dramatic moment filled with tension and interaction among the figures, a characteristic feature of Lastman's approach to biblical subjects. The use of chiaroscuro and the vivid portrayal of the characters' expressions reflect the influence of Caravaggio, whom Lastman may have studied during his travels in Italy.

Pieter Lastman's work is significant in the context of Dutch Golden Age painting, as he was instrumental in the development of Amsterdam as a new center of art in the early 17th century. "Alttestamentarische Szene" is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical importance in the evolution of narrative painting in the Netherlands.

The painting is part of a collection at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, Germany. It continues to be an object of study for art historians interested in the transmission of Italianate styles to the Dutch Republic and the interplay between religious narratives and visual art during the period.
