This aromatic tree gets its name from the mother of Adonis. She was transformed into a tree after having had intercourse with her father and gave birth to Adonis as a tree (as shown in the painting). According to legend, the aromatic exudings of the tree are her tears. Name the tree, which is native to West Asia and Horn of Africa and whose resin has been used throughout history as a perfume, incense, and medicine? Additional point for identifying the painter.
