# Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to the Place of Sacrifice [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LEYDEN, Lucas van]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Woodcut, 285 x 211 mm ## Commentary Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to the Place of Sacrifice c. 1517 Woodcut, 285 x 211 mm Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam Abraham and Isaac is among Lucas van Leyden's most successful prints, one of the more than 20 woodcuts of his oeuvre. It has a delicate balance between line and tone. The figures are set in a broad landscape that is convincingly built up in several planes and recedes into the distance, thus making clever use of the expressive potential of the woodcut technique. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve \(Expulsion from the Paradise\)]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Cain Killing Abel]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Card Players]() - [Christ Healing the Blind \(detail\)]() - [Christ Healing the Blind]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Dance of Mary Magdalen]() - [David Playing the Harp before Saul]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
