"The Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael" is a painting by the Dutch artist Pieter Aertsen, a painter known for his genre scenes and still lifes as well as biblical subjects. Aertsen, often called "Long Peter" because of his height, was a significant figure in the transition from the Northern Renaissance to Dutch and Flemish Baroque painting. This particular work depicts the biblical story from the Book of Genesis, Chapter 21, in which Hagar and her son Ishmael are sent away by Abraham at the behest of his wife Sarah.

The painting is a vivid narrative representation, showcasing Aertsen's skill in combining elements of daily life with religious themes, a characteristic that is often noted in his kitchen and market scenes. In this work, Aertsen captures the emotional intensity of the moment when Hagar and Ishmael are cast out into the wilderness. The figures are typically rendered with a robust, earthy realism, and the composition may reflect the influence of Italian Renaissance art, which Aertsen would have encountered during his travels in his early career.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, Pieter Aertsen's active period as an artist spanned from the 1530s to the 1570s, and this work is likely from the latter half of this period. The painting's current location, provenance, and critical reception over time are not detailed here, as this information is essential for a comprehensive introduction and may not be readily available.

"The Expulsion of Hagar and Ishmael" serves as an example of Aertsen's engagement with religious subjects and his ability to infuse them with a sense of contemporary life and human emotion. The painting is significant for its art historical value in understanding the evolution of Dutch painting and the interplay between religious narratives and everyday scenes that would come to characterize much of the artwork of the Dutch Golden Age.
