EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hagar Sent into the Wilderness". Francesco Bartolozzi skillfully captures a poignant moment from the Book of Genesis. Created in 1758, this engraving and etching transports us to the 18th century as we witness Hagar's banishment by her employer, Abraham. The scene unfolds with dramatic intensity as Hagar, a female servant, stands before Abraham gesturing towards her young son Ishmael. With deep emotion etched on their faces, Bartolozzi masterfully conveys the pain and despair of this biblical event. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, highlighting both the physical and emotional turmoil experienced by these characters. Bartolozzi's use of black and white adds an air of timelessness to the image, emphasizing its enduring significance. As viewers contemplate this powerful artwork housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, they are reminded of the profound themes explored in religious texts such as loyalty, sacrifice, and redemption. This print serves as a testament to Bartolozzi's artistic prowess while also offering a glimpse into Italian heritage during that era. Through his skilled craftsmanship and collaboration with Giuseppe Zocchi for Joseph Wagner's book illustrations project, Bartolozzi brings forth an evocative portrayal that resonates across centuries. As we gaze upon "Hagar Sent into the Wilderness" we are transported back in time - witnessing not only an ancient story but also reflecting on universal human experiences
