EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Abraham's Sacrifice" takes us back to the 19th century with its intricate details and profound symbolism. The artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in the book "Art Pictures from the Old Testament and Our Lords Parables" by Edwin Dalton, published around 1880. The scene depicted in this engraving comes straight from the pages of the Bible's Old Testament. Abraham, a central figure in Hebrew scripture, finds himself facing an unimaginable test of faith. With his son Isaac by his side, he prepares to make a sacrifice as commanded by God. In this moment frozen in time, we see Abraham raising his knife above Isaac while an angel hovers nearby. The tension is palpable as we wonder what choice Abraham will ultimately make – obedience or mercy? The artist skillfully captures the emotional turmoil within Abraham's face and posture, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of self-sacrifice and divine intervention. Through delicate lines and shading techniques characteristic of engravings from that era, every detail is meticulously rendered. This print serves as a powerful reminder of timeless biblical stories that continue to resonate with audiences today. It offers us an opportunity to delve into ancient tales that explore human nature, faith, and our relationship with higher powers. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for generations to come through their dedication to fine art preservation.
