Abraham offert zijn zoon Isaac 1538

This woodcut by Hans Holbein the Younger, titled "Abraham offert zijn zoon Isaac," depicts the biblical story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac. The scene, executed in a detailed and expressive style, captures the moment just before the sacrifice, with Abraham poised to strike and an angel appearing from the clouds to stop him. The ram in the foreground, bound for sacrifice in Abraham's place, highlights the divine intervention. This artwork, likely created for a book illustration, exemplifies Holbein's mastery of line and detail, typical of the Northern Renaissance art style.
