EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Repudiation of Hagar" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant biblical scene. Created by Domenico Piola, a renowned artist from the School of Genoa, this oil on canvas painting depicts an emotional moment from the Book of Genesis. At the center of the composition stands Abraham, the first patriarch and prophet revered in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. With a heavy heart and pained expression, he is seen reluctantly casting out Hagar, his concubine and mother of his son Ishmael. This act symbolizes obedience to God's command as well as sacrifice for one's faith. Piola masterfully captures the anguish on Hagar's face as she clings desperately to her young child. The expulsion of Hagar represents not only her physical banishment but also her exclusion from Abraham's love and protection. Through this powerful artwork, Piola explores themes such as faith, humanity, love, and life itself. It serves as a reminder that even great figures like Abraham faced moral dilemmas and had to make difficult choices guided by their devotion to God. "The Repudiation of Hagar" is an exceptional example of Baroque artistry with its dramatic lighting and meticulous attention to detail. As it belongs to a private collection today, this print allows us all to appreciate Piola's skillful interpretation of this significant episode from the Old Testament without commercial use or mention thereof.
