"The Dismissal of Hagar and Ishmael" is a significant biblical-themed painting by the renowned Dutch artist Rembrandt van Rijn. Created in 1637, during the artist's early period in Amsterdam, this work depicts the poignant story from the Book of Genesis (21:14-21), where Hagar and her son Ishmael are sent away into the desert by Abraham at the behest of his wife Sarah.

The painting is a masterful example of Rembrandt's ability to convey deep emotion and narrative through his use of chiaroscuro and expressive brushwork. Measuring 52.5 by 61.8 cm, the artwork is executed in oil on canvas. It showcases Rembrandt's skill in rendering the human figure and his nuanced understanding of the complexities of human emotion.

In the biblical account, Sarah, Abraham's wife, becomes jealous of Hagar, her Egyptian maidservant, and the mother of Abraham's first son, Ishmael. Sarah demands that Abraham expel Hagar and Ishmael from their household. Abraham is distressed by this but ultimately complies after God assures him that Ishmael will also become the progenitor of a great nation. Rembrandt captures the moment of departure, emphasizing the despair of Hagar and the innocence of Ishmael, while also reflecting on themes of mercy, divine will, and human compassion.

The painting is noted for its dramatic lighting and the emotional intensity of the figures. Rembrandt's use of light not only highlights the central figures but also serves to enhance the narrative tension and the psychological depth of the scene. The artist's attention to detail, including the rendering of the desert landscape in the background and the careful depiction of the figures' attire, contributes to the overall impact of the piece.

"The Dismissal of Hagar and Ishmael" is held in high esteem within the oeuvre of Rembrandt's works and is considered an important example of his narrative paintings. It has been the subject of scholarly analysis and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. The painting is currently housed in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians, scholars, and the general public.
