EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Abraham Giving Up Hagar, Genesis, XXI, 14" transports us back to biblical times and tells a poignant story of sacrifice and faith. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a powerful moment from the Book of Genesis. In this scene, we witness Abraham's heart-wrenching decision to part ways with Hagar, his concubine. As commanded by God, Abraham must send away Hagar and their son Ishmael into the wilderness. The emotional turmoil is palpable as Abraham embraces Hagar one last time before they go their separate ways. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish on both Abraham's and Hagar's faces through intricate details and delicate lines. The intensity of their expressions conveys the weight of this pivotal moment in their lives. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for an unidentified volume of Bible illustrations around 1835. It serves as a visual reminder of the trials faced by these biblical figures and prompts reflection on themes such as obedience, trust in divine guidance, and personal sacrifice. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork continues to inspire viewers with its timeless depiction of human emotions intertwined with religious devotion. Its inclusion in Look and Learn further emphasizes its significance as a valuable historical artifact that connects us to ancient narratives found within the pages of scripture.
