About the piece
Painted in 1657 by Pier Francesco Mola, this oil on copper work captures the moment an angel appears to Hagar and Ishmael in the desert. The scene is rendered with striking chiaroscuro, where the heavenly light of the angel contrasts against the deep, earthy tones of the surrounding wilderness, showcasing the dramatic tension and emotional depth characteristic of the Italian Baroque.
