EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection titled "Abraham sending away Hagar Ishmael holds forth" takes us back in time to witness a powerful moment in biblical history. The engraving, created by Georg Pencz, a German artist from Wroclaw around 1543, beautifully captures the emotional intensity of this significant event. In the image, we see Abraham standing tall and resolute as he sends away Hagar and their son Ishmael. With his hand outstretched towards them, Abraham's face reveals a mix of sorrow and determination. Hagar stands beside him with downcast eyes while young Ishmael strides forward confidently, holding forth a vessel symbolizing their uncertain future. The composition skillfully portrays the complex emotions involved in this story - the pain of separation and abandonment mingled with hope for new beginnings. The delicate lines and intricate details showcase Pencz's mastery as an engraver. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the narrative of Abraham's life - witnessing his difficult decision to follow God's command despite its heart-wrenching consequences. This artwork serves as a reminder of human struggles, faith tested under fire, and ultimately redemption found through trust in divine providence. Whether displayed on its own or as part of a series depicting other pivotal moments from biblical tales, this engraving is sure to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and thought-provoking subject matter.
