Painting Description
"Landscape with Abraham Expelling Hagar and Ishmael" is a significant oil on canvas painting by the French artist Claude Lorrain (born Claude Gellée), created circa 1665-67. This work exemplifies Lorrain's mastery in blending classical landscape painting with biblical narratives, a hallmark of his mature period. The painting depicts the poignant biblical episode from the Book of Genesis, where Abraham, under the insistence of his wife Sarah, sends away his concubine Hagar and their son Ishmael.
In this composition, Lorrain places the figures of Abraham, Hagar, and Ishmael in the foreground, with Abraham gesturing towards the distant landscape, indicating the path Hagar and Ishmael must take into exile. The figures are relatively small within the vast, idyllic landscape that dominates the canvas, which is characteristic of Lorrain's style, emphasizing the grandeur and permanence of nature in contrast to the transient human dramas unfolding within it.
The landscape itself is rendered with meticulous attention to atmospheric effects, showcasing Lorrain's exceptional ability to capture the quality of light as it bathes the countryside in a warm, golden hue, a technique that would influence the development of landscape painting for centuries to come. The painting's composition is carefully constructed with classical principles of order and harmony, featuring a winding river that leads the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, framed by ancient trees and classical architecture, further underscoring the timeless quality of the narrative.
"Landscape with Abraham Expelling Hagar and Ishmael" is considered one of Claude Lorrain's masterpieces, reflecting his enduring interest in the pastoral landscape as a setting for human history and divine providence. The work is held in high esteem for its technical brilliance, emotive storytelling, and its pivotal role in the evolution of landscape painting. It remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Claude Lorrain and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
