"Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael" (1653) is a significant oil painting by Nicolaes Maes, a prominent Dutch Golden Age artist known for his genre scenes, portraits, and religious narratives. This artwork, measuring 135.5 cm by 196.2 cm, is housed in the Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg, Russia, and stands as a testament to Maes's mastery in depicting biblical stories with emotional depth and realism.

The painting illustrates a poignant moment from the Book of Genesis (21:14), where Abraham, following God's command and Sarah's insistence, sends Hagar and their son Ishmael away into the desert. Maes's interpretation of this narrative is remarkable for its emotional intensity and the intricate detailing of the figures and their surroundings. The artist employs a rich palette and skillful use of light and shadow to highlight the expressions of despair, resignation, and divine intervention, capturing the viewer's attention and empathy.

Nicolaes Maes, who was a student of Rembrandt van Rijn, demonstrates influences of his teacher through the dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the psychological depth he imbues in his characters. "Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael" is considered one of Maes's masterpieces in religious art, showcasing his transition from Rembrandt's influence to developing his own style characterized by a more refined and delicate approach to narrative and form.

This work not only reflects the artistic trends of the Dutch Golden Age but also serves as a cultural artifact, offering insights into the religious and moral values of the period. Through "Abraham Dismissing Hagar and Ishmael," Nicolaes Maes contributes to the rich tapestry of biblical interpretations in art, inviting viewers to explore themes of faith, obedience, and the human condition.
