The work depicts Abraham on top of the mountain, with his staff raised. Isaac recoils, crouching beneath him, while both look up in amazement at the angel who has descended from heaven. It is the angel who stops the blow, grabbing the other end of Abraham's weapon. The vivid colors and twisted figures guide the eye across the scene, up to the sky, where light and shadow merge, accompanying the gaze towards the desert. Below, the now destroyed sacrificial altar is a silent witness to what has just happened. A suspended moment, frozen in the instant when faith, doubt, and obedience collide in one of the most dramatic scenes in biblical tradition.
