""sacrifice Of Isaac" - Oil On Canvas From The Tuscan School Of The Second Half Of 17th Century."
Beautiful painting depicting the famous biblical scene of the Sacrifice of Isaac told in the stories of Genesis. The painter, most likely a Tuscan active during the second half of the seventeenth century, was able to implement a tumultuous and somewhat brutal scene, in some ways setting the story in a very original way. The scenario is set perspectively from bottom to top, Isaac has his hands tied behind his back and is struggling in the torment that his father Abraham is inflicting on him, tested by God; The angel bursts in at the fatal moment, blocking Abraham's sword to save Isaac. The painting was relined in the 19th century, but it is possible to see the ancient seventeenth-century canvas.
The measurements of the painting are approximately 80cm x 60cm and 92cm x 72cm with the non-coeval frame.
