EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment when Hagar and Ishmael are sent away by Abraham, fulfilling Sarah's wish. As depicted in Genesis, chapter XXI of the Bible, this event marks a significant turning point in history as it symbolizes the splitting of Judaism (descendants of Isaac) from Islam (descendants of Ishmael). The image is taken from Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible, a 19th-century publication adorned with over nine hundred exquisitely detailed engravings. The artist behind this particular engraving remains unknown, but their work beautifully conveys the emotional weight and historical significance of this biblical scene. In this powerful portrayal, we witness Abraham reluctantly banishing his son Ishmael and his mother Hagar into an uncertain future. Their expressions reflect a mix of sadness, fear, and resignation as they embark on their journey into exile. This image serves as a reminder not only of the literary arts' ability to capture profound moments in religious texts but also highlights the intricate relationship between Christianity and Islam. It represents an essential juncture where two distinct faiths diverged while sharing common roots. As viewers contemplate this artwork, they are invited to explore themes such as family dynamics, religious identity formation, and human resilience amidst adversity. Moreover, it prompts reflection on how ancient stories continue to shape our world today. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder offers us access to these remarkable visual representations that enable us to delve deeper into our collective cultural heritage. Through images like these ones captured within old bibles or other historical artifacts – we can connect with centuries-old narratives that still resonate profoundly in modern times.
