EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Abraham Casting out Hagar and Ishmael, 1637" by Rembrandt van Rijn takes us back to the 17th century Dutch Baroque era. This etching and drypoint artwork showcases the masterful skills of Rembrandt in capturing a deeply emotional moment from biblical history. In this scene, we witness Abraham's difficult decision to cast out his concubine Hagar and their son Ishmael. The anguish on Hagar's face is palpable as she clings desperately to her child while Abraham stands firm, torn between duty and compassion. Rembrandt's meticulous attention to detail brings every nuance of emotion to life, making it impossible for viewers not to be moved by this heart-wrenching depiction. The use of light and shadow in the print adds depth and intensity to the composition. It highlights the contrast between Abraham's stern countenance and Hagar's tear-streaked face, emphasizing their conflicting emotions. Rembrandt's signature technique shines through in his ability to create a sense of realism that draws viewers into the narrative. This particular print is housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, where it serves as a testament to Rembrandt van Rijn's enduring legacy as one of history’s greatest artists.
