The Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael, 1666
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a poignant biblical moment with remarkable detail and emotion. Painted by Gerbrandt van den Eeckhout, this oil on canvas print measures 55.2x68.9 cm and is housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The scene depicts the heart-wrenching expulsion of Hagar and her son Ishmael from their home as ordered by Abraham's wife Sarah, as described in the book of Genesis. The artist skillfully portrays the anguish on Hagar's face as she clings to her young child while being cast out into an unforgiving world. Eeckhout's attention to architectural details adds depth to the painting, with a street scene unfolding behind the central figures. The Dutch influence is evident through his meticulous rendering of buildings and cobblestone streets. A peacock gracefully perched atop a nearby rooftop symbolizes pride and vanity – perhaps reflecting Sarah's jealousy towards Hagar and Ishmael. This artwork was acquired by the North Carolina Museum of Art with funds from the State of North Carolina. Its presence within their collection allows visitors to experience this powerful biblical narrative firsthand. "The Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael" serves as a reminder that even amidst great suffering, there is resilience and hope for those who find themselves displaced or marginalized—a timeless message beautifully captured by Eeckhout's masterful brushstrokes.
