The Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Pieter Aertsen, also known as Lange Pier. This remarkable piece from the Northern Renaissance era depicts a poignant scene from the Old Testament, illustrating the religious narrative of shame, punishment, and exile. In this emotionally charged composition, we witness Hagar and her son Ishmael being expelled from their home. The anguish on Hagar's face is palpable as she clings desperately to her child while facing an uncertain future. The male figures in the background appear stern and resolute in carrying out this act of punishment. Aertsen's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; his mastery of light and shadow adds depth and realism to each figure. The rich colors evoke a sense of drama that intensifies the emotional impact of the scene. This painting serves as a powerful reminder of human suffering, highlighting themes such as faith, obedience, and redemption within Christianity. It prompts viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs about justice and compassion. As we gaze at this print captured by eChristies Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness this biblical event unfold before our eyes. Aertsen's skillful portrayal invites us into the narrative with its raw emotionality—a testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's great painters.
