EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Abraham with knife in hand" we are transported back to the biblical story of Abraham and his son Isaac. The artist, Nicolaes de Bruyn, skillfully captures the intense moment when Abraham is about to sacrifice his beloved son as a test of faith from God. The scene unfolds against a breathtaking landscape, with scenic views stretching into the distance. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice an angel hovering above them, preventing Abraham from carrying out the sacrificial act. This divine intervention adds a layer of suspense and relief to the composition. The round frame encloses this powerful image, emphasizing its significance and drawing our attention directly to Abraham's hand gripping tightly onto a knife. Instead of depicting Isaac on an altar as traditionally portrayed, De Bruyn cleverly refers to him by including a ram in the scene - symbolizing that it was ultimately spared as a substitute for Isaac. An inscription in Latin accompanies this rectangular frame artwork by Quint Lox from Liszt Collection. It invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, obedience, and divine providence while admiring De Bruyn's masterful depiction of this pivotal biblical event. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of one man's unwavering trust in God's plan.
