About the piece

Painted in 1657 by Antonio del Castillo y Saavedra, this masterful work captures the poignant biblical narrative of Hagar in the wilderness. The composition is defined by the deep shadows and luminous highlights characteristic of the Spanish Baroque style, where a divine messenger descends through a heavy, atmospheric sky to a desolate landscape.
