EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Claude Lorrain's "Landscape with Abraham Expelling Hagar and Ishmael" a remarkable piece of art created between 1665-67. The artwork, measuring 14.2x20.4 cm, is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. In this biblical scene depicted by Lorrain, we witness an emotional moment from the book of Genesis. Abraham, portrayed as a fatherly figure, expels his concubine Hagar and their son Ishmael into the wilderness at God's command. The artist skillfully captures this heart-wrenching banishment through pen and ink techniques over chalk on paper. The religious significance of this artwork cannot be understated; it delves into themes such as parental responsibility, faithfulness to divine commands, and human suffering. Lorrain's attention to detail brings life to each character's facial expressions and body language while harmonizing them within a breathtaking landscape backdrop. As viewers delve into this masterpiece, they are invited to reflect upon their own understanding of religion and its impact on familial relationships. This drawing serves as a poignant reminder that even in ancient times, individuals faced challenges that tested their devotion to higher powers. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance of Lorrain's work in this high-quality print without compromising its integrity or commercial use restrictions.
