EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sacrifice of Isaac" by Willem van Haecht (II), we are transported back to the biblical story from Genesis 22. The image captures a pivotal moment as Abraham, with his son Isaac at his side, prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice. The composition is filled with tension and emotion. Abraham's face reveals both determination and anguish as he raises the knife, while young Isaac looks on in confusion and fear. However, just as Abraham is about to carry out the act, an angel descends from above to intervene. The divine intervention is beautifully depicted in this artwork. The angel's presence stops Abraham in his tracks, preventing him from sacrificing his beloved son. Instead, their attention turns towards a ram caught in nearby bushes – a fortuitous substitute for Isaac. The details within the scene are meticulously captured by Van Haecht (II). A donkey stands nearby, driven up the mound by Abraham himself. As they ascend the hill together, little did they know that their journey would take such a dramatic turn. This thought-provoking print serves as a reminder of faith and trust in higher powers during times of great trial. It showcases Van Haecht (II)'s skillful ability to convey complex emotions through artistry and storytelling. Quint Lox has masterfully preserved this significant piece from the Liszt Collection for all to admire and reflect upon its timeless message today
