Johann Anton Brew

Johann Anton Brew is a Northern Renaissance artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Brukenthal National Museum.

A painter from the late 1500s, Johann Anton Brew made large religious scenes with dramatic light. His single work in this set, Abraham sacrificând pe Isaac (1579), shows a moment frozen in Old Testament drama, knives, altars, and a heavenly ray cutting through the dark. If you like the contrast of candle glow against night skies, tap into the dense figures and spotlight on the boy.
