Sacrifice of Isaac Poster

Discover the dramatic intensity and masterful chiaroscuro of Caravaggio’s Sacrifice of Isaac (c. 1602–1603), a Baroque masterpiece housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. This powerful painting captures the biblical moment when Abraham, obeying God’s command, is about to sacrifice his son Isaac but is stopped by an angel who offers a ram as a substitute. Caravaggio’s composition focuses on the psychological drama, with the angel firmly grasping Abraham’s wrist to halt the sacrifice. The faces of Abraham and Isaac are shadowed yet expressive, conveying tension and relief. The ram, symbolising Christ’s ultimate sacrifice, is central to the scene. The painting’s stark lighting and naturalistic detail exemplify Caravaggio’s revolutionary style, emphasising human emotion and divine intervention. This museum-quality print is perfect for art lovers and collectors seeking iconic Italian Baroque religious art and profound storytelling for their home or office.
