"Abraham Sacrificing Isaac" is a 16th-century etching by French artist Jean Mignon. The scene depicts the biblical story of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac at God's command, a testament to his faith. Mignon's detailed rendering captures the drama and pathos of the moment. The composition is balanced by the figures of Abraham and Isaac, the divine intervention of an angel, and the lush forest landscape. This etching, housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, exemplifies the artistic precision and narrative power of Renaissance printmaking.
