From the museum record

This series of paintings primarily tells the Old Testament story of Abraham and Isaac, and each of the canvases depicts the interaction of humans and angels. In three works, angels appear to Abraham, and in one particularly dramatic canvas, an angel intercepts Abraham before he sacrifices his own son. Like another work in this series, Tobias and the Angels, the Sacrifice of Isaac is a narrative about fathers and sons as well as obedience inspired by faith.

Lupin’s visual index

A somber oil painting depicts Christ's body being laid into his tomb by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, with a celestial female figure observing.
