À propos de l’œuvre
God never intended to deprive Abraham of his only son, but simply to test his faith. Rembrandt depicted the horrifying scene in a highly intimate manner. The unshackled Isaac does not put up a struggle. Abraham covers his son’s eyes to spare him the sight of the knife he wields. An angel steps in just in the nick of time.
