The Sacrifice of Isaac, 1655, Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn, Dutch, 1606–1669, 6 1/8 x 5 3/16 in. (15.6 x 13.1 cm) (plate), Etching and drypoint, The Netherlands, 17th century, Theologian Martin Buber observed that in the Old Testament, 'to believe means to follow the will of God.' Rembrandt might add, even without visible proof. In this introspective work, in which Abraham is poised to offer up his son, Rembrandt favors hearing over seeing. Abraham's eyes are darkened, and he covers his son's eyes. It is words that prompt the bewildered, uncomprehending look on his face
