Hagar and Ishmael 1630s
Andrea Sacchi
(1599 - 1661)
The painting shows Hagar despairing
over her son Ishmael who is dying of
thirst after being banished to the
desert, when an angel appears. The
angel points to a spring water and
announces that Ishmael is destined to
father a great nation. The painting is
based on the Old Testament story of
Hagar and Ishmael (Genesis 21 : 1-21)
and was made for Cardinal Antonio
Barberini, Sacchi’s principal patron and
one of the greatest supporters of at in
Italy at the time.
Moret’s short brushstrokes show the influence of
imppressionism, although some bright colours
introduce more abstract effects.
