| Résumé: | In traditional Christian artistic visualization, the episode of Hagar and Ishmael in the desert has given rise to various iconographic types: "The feast for the weaning of Isaac and Sara’s protests," "Abraham bids farewell to Hagar and Ishmael," "Hagar and Ishmael in the desert" and "Divine salvation for Hagar and Ishmael". This study looks into the continuity and variation over time of the second of these types: "Abraham bids farewell to Hagar and Ishmael," the one most depicted out of this entire biblical topic or episode. Since the Byzantine Octateuch in the East (11th century.) and the Canterbury Hexateuch (ca. 1025-1049) in the West, this iconographic type has remained into the Late Modern period, with some variations over time. This study is exclusively iconographic or descriptive; it only verifies the codification of the type in order to set out an analytical basis prior to future hermeneutic or iconological studies. |
