Original Description
Karl Mattenheimer's Die Verstossung Hagars (The Expulsion of Hagar) (Genesis 21:9-21) is a poignant depiction of biblical anguish rendered with striking Romantic intensity. The painting captures the emotional climax of Hagar and Ishmael’s exile—Abraham’s reluctant abandonment under Sarah’s demand—through masterful chiaroscuro and dynamic composition. Mattenheimer’s style fuses Nazarene precision with Romantic pathos, evident in Hagar’s despairing posture and the wilderness’s brooding atmosphere. The work stands as a testament to early 19th-century German religious art, where biblical narratives were vehicles for exploring human vulnerability and divine justice. Its restrained yet dramatic palette—dominated by earthy ochres and stormy blues—heightens the psychological tension, placing it among lesser-known but significant Romantic religious works that bridge the spiritual fervor of the Nazarenes and the emotive thrust of later Symbolism.
For contemporary spaces, Die Verstossung Hagars suits a study, library, or office where its contemplative gravitas can resonate. Opt for a wall with subdued lighting to amplify its chiaroscuro drama, ideally paired with dark wood furnishings or leather accents to echo its warm, muted tones. A gilded or walnut frame would honor its period style, while minimalist surroundings prevent visual competition. In a larger room, position it as a focal point above a console or desk—its medium size (assuming typical 19th-century altarpiece dimensions, ~120x90cm) commands attention without overwhelming. Complement with deep greens or burnt sienna textiles to harmonize with its palette, or contrast with muted grays for modernity. Avoid crowded arrangements; this painting thrives in solitude, much like its subject.
