EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Sacrifice of Isaac" a remarkable ink on paper artwork created by the Iranian School in the late 17th to early 18th century. Measuring at 8.5x6.5 cm, this piece is part of a private collection and bears resemblance to an original European work. The image depicts a religious scene from the Old Testament, illustrating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac as an act of devotion to God. The drawing exudes deep spirituality and emotion, with intricate details capturing every aspect of this biblical event. A Persian influence can be observed through the use of flecked gold borders that adorn the composition, adding an exquisite touch to its overall aesthetic appeal. The Safavid era's artistic style shines through in this masterpiece, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and religious significance prevalent during that time. Angels play a prominent role in this artwork, symbolizing divine intervention and protection throughout Abraham's test of faith. Their presence adds an ethereal quality to the scene while emphasizing themes of sacrifice and redemption inherent in Christianity. Through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are granted access to appreciate this profound piece deeply rooted in religion and history. It serves as a testament not only to Iran's artistic prowess but also highlights universal themes that resonate across cultures - faith, devotion, and ultimate surrender for something greater than oneself.
