"The Expulsion of Hagar" is a notable painting by Flemish Renaissance artist Michiel Coxie I, who was active during the 16th century and often referred to as the Flemish Raphael for his style that closely emulated the Italian High Renaissance. The painting depicts the biblical story of Hagar, the Egyptian handmaid of Sarah, being sent away by Abraham at Sarah's behest after Hagar bore Abraham a son, Ishmael. This narrative is drawn from the Book of Genesis, Chapter 21, verses 9-21, and has been a subject of artistic representation in Western art for centuries.

Coxie's interpretation of "The Expulsion of Hagar" is a testament to his mastery of composition and his ability to convey complex emotional narratives through his work. The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of color and light, as well as the detailed expressions of the figures, which capture the pathos of the scene. Coxie's work reflects the influence of his Italian contemporaries, as well as his own contributions to the Northern Renaissance, blending elements of both traditions to create a poignant and memorable image.

The artwork serves not only as an example of Coxie's skill and artistic legacy but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the religious and social mores of the time. As with many of Coxie's works, "The Expulsion of Hagar" would have been commissioned by a patron of the arts, possibly for a religious institution or as a private devotional piece. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time contribute to its historical and artistic significance, offering insight into the period's artistic trends and the enduring relevance of biblical themes in art.

While the exact date of creation for "The Expulsion of Hagar" is not definitively known, it is generally attributed to the mid-16th century, a period during which Coxie was highly active and produced numerous works that solidified his reputation as a leading artist in the Low Countries. The painting is an important piece within Coxie's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its stylistic elements and its place within the broader context of Renaissance art history.
