EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Abraham offering up Isaac, Genesis XXII, 12" takes us back to a significant biblical event. Created by the English School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this print beautifully captures the emotional intensity of Abraham's sacrifice. The scene depicts Abraham standing on Mount Moriah with his beloved son Isaac beside him. With unwavering faith and obedience to God's command, Abraham raises his knife above Isaac as an act of sacrifice. The tension is palpable as we witness this profound test of faith unfold before our eyes. This illustration was originally featured in "Historic Illustrations of the Bible principally after the Old Masters" published by Fisher around 1850. It showcases not only the skillful artistry but also serves as a reminder of how important these biblical events were to artists throughout history. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are reminded of the timeless themes it represents - devotion, trust, and ultimate surrender to a higher power. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and challenges us to contemplate what sacrifices we would be willing to make for our faith. With its intricate details and powerful imagery, this print from Bridgeman Images transports us back in time while reminding us that these ancient stories continue to resonate with people today.
