About the piece
Painted around 1650 by the Genoese master Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, also known as Il Grechetto, this work depicts the biblical journey of Abraham. Castiglione's renowned expertise in animal painting is on full display here; the textured rendering of sheep, goats, and horses creates a lively sense of motion that defines this dramatic Italian Baroque composition.
