EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hagar and Ishmael cast forth" takes us back to biblical times, illustrating a poignant moment from the Book of Genesis. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the emotional intensity of Hagar and her son Ishmael being expelled into the wilderness. The scene depicts a heart-wrenching story of abandonment and survival. As described in the Old Testament, Hagar was Sarah's maidservant who bore Abraham's child when Sarah was unable to conceive. However, tensions arose between them after Sarah gave birth to Isaac, her own son with Abraham. Fearing for her son's inheritance rights, Sarah demanded that Abraham cast out Hagar and Ishmael. In this engraving, we witness their expulsion as they are left alone in a desolate landscape. The artist skillfully conveys their vulnerability through their expressions and body language – Hagar shielding Ishmael while looking back with sorrowful eyes. This powerful image serves as a reminder of human struggles throughout history and resonates with themes found not only in religious texts but also in literature and art across cultures. It invites contemplation on themes such as sacrifice, resilience, faithfulness, and ultimately finding hope amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection printed by Fine Art Finder, we are transported into an ancient tale that continues to touch our hearts today.
