EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael and the return of the prodigal son". Pieter van den Berge skillfully captures a powerful biblical moment. The image depicts Abraham's wife, Sarah, kneeling at the entrance of their house as she watches her husband expel Hagar and their son Ishmael. The pain in Sarah's eyes is palpable, reflecting the complex emotions that arise from this heart-wrenching scene. Meanwhile, on the other side of the composition, we witness an equally poignant event: the return of the prodigal son. Standing before his father with humility etched across his face, he seeks forgiveness for his past transgressions. The older sons can be seen engrossed in their work nearby, seemingly skeptical about their brother's redemption. Van den Berge masterfully portrays these parallel narratives within a single frame. Every detail is meticulously captured – from bread and jug symbolizing sustenance to water signifying purification – enhancing our understanding of each character's journey. This print invites us to reflect upon themes such as forgiveness, redemption, family dynamics, and human vulnerability. It serves as a timeless reminder that even amidst hardship and brokenness, there is always hope for reconciliation and renewal. Quint Lox expertly presents this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with a company.
