Abraham's Sacrifice
1635
The painting shows an elderly Abraham with a white beard on the right, restraining Isaac as the bound youth lies on the ground, while an angel with wings descends from above to intervene. A curved blade is visible near the center, and the rugged landscape around them is rendered in dark blues, browns, and greens. The scene is treated with Rembrandt’s characteristic chiaroscuro and sculptural, painted forms, using warm flesh tones against deep shadows and a dynamic diagonal composition.
