Abraham verdrijft Hagar en Ismaël 1751 - 1816

"Abraham verdrijft Hagar en Ismaël" is an engraving by Carlo Antonio Porporati, a prominent Italian artist active in the late 18th century. Created between 1751 and 1816, the artwork depicts a scene from the Bible where Abraham expels his concubine Hagar and their son Ishmael, following the birth of Isaac. The engraving highlights the dramatic moment through the expressive figures and detailed landscape. The image evokes the emotional turmoil of Hagar, the resolve in Abraham's pose, and the innocence of Ishmael. The engraving is a testament to Porporati's mastery of the medium, capturing the biblical narrative with both sensitivity and clarity. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
