EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, titled "Abraham caressing Isaac" beautifully captures a tender moment between father and son. The scene depicts the biblical story of Abraham preparing to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac, as told in the Old Testament. In this poignant image, Abraham's affectionate touch conveys both love and anguish as he gently embraces Isaac. The artist skillfully portrays their emotional connection through delicate lines and shading, emphasizing the depth of their bond. The baroque style of this artwork adds a sense of drama and intensity to the scene. Rembrandt's mastery is evident in his ability to evoke powerful emotions through his depiction of biblical events. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded not only of the profound faith displayed by Abraham but also of the universal themes it represents - parental love, sacrifice, and devotion. It serves as a timeless reminder that even in moments of great hardship or uncertainty, love can prevail. Displayed at Fondation Glenat in Grenoble, France, this piece from the 17th century continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and emotional resonance. It stands as a testament to Rembrandt's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest artists.
