The Angel Stopping Abraham from Sacrificing Isaac, 1636
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that showcases the extraordinary talent of Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn. This masterpiece, measuring 195x132 cm, can be found in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich, Germany. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from the biblical story of Abraham and his son Isaac. In this intense moment, Abraham is poised to sacrifice his beloved son as an act of obedience to God's command. However, just as he raises his dagger, an angel appears before him and intervenes with outstretched arms. Rembrandt's skillful brushwork brings this powerful narrative to life. The contrasting emotions on the faces of both Abraham and Isaac are striking - surprise and shock fill their eyes as they realize what has been halted by divine intervention. This Baroque-era artwork captures not only the physical tension but also the spiritual struggle between faith and morality. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of extreme devotion or sacrifice, there may be unseen forces at work guiding our actions. As we gaze upon this copy of Rembrandt's original painting exhibited during "Rembrandt, le maitre et son atelier" we are transported back to the 17th century Dutch art scene where such masterpieces flourished. Let us appreciate this timeless creation for its technical brilliance and profound exploration of human nature within religious context.
