About the piece
Painted by Francesco Guardi around 1754, this work depicts the biblical narrative where an angel interrupts Abraham's sacrifice of his son. Characteristic of Guardi's spirited Venetian style, the composition is defined by loose, atmospheric brushstrokes and a moody, high-contrast palette that emphasizes the tension of the scene.
