EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Hagar and Ishmael sent away" depicts a poignant moment from the biblical story. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases their skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The scene portrays Hagar and her son Ishmael being sent away by Abraham. The emotions are palpable as Hagar clings tightly to her child while Abraham looks on with a mix of sorrow and determination. This powerful image captures the heart-wrenching decision made by Abraham to follow God's command, despite the pain it brings. The vibrant colors used in this engraving add depth and intensity to the narrative, drawing viewers into the story itself. It is evident that every stroke was carefully executed to convey both the physical surroundings of Beersheba and the emotional turmoil experienced by each character. Originally created as an illustration for Bible Picture Book published around 1880, this artwork continues to resonate with audiences today. Its timeless portrayal of sacrifice, love, and resilience serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across generations. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how stories from ancient texts can still touch our hearts and inspire contemplation even centuries later.
