1605_Sacrifice_of_Isaac_Caravaggio.txt http://www.artbible.info/art/large/441.html Caravaggio 1573 – 1610 The Sacrifice of Isaac oil on canvas (116 × 173 cm) — c. 1605 private collection Caravaggio biography This work is linked to Genesis 22:10 Experts are not sure that this painting was made by Caravaggio. It lacks the characteristic strong emotion, as shown in an earlier version from 1603. But the composition is strong. The angel tries to convince Abraham not to kill his son. Abraham's grip on the boy's head is already loosening. The work is one in the collection of Barbara Piasecka Johnson, a Polish immigrant who became heir to the Johnson & Johnson company.
