Vertreibung der Hagar (Kopie nach) is a 1684 unspecified by Andrea Celesti, held at Bavarian State Painting Collections.
The painting depicts a group of people in a dark setting, with a man in the center gesturing to a woman. The woman is holding a cloth to her face, while the man is pointing at her. There are several other figures in the background, some of whom are looking at the central couple. The painting features a somber color palette, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The figures are rendered in a realistic style, with attention to detail in their facial expressions and clothing. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
Andrea Celesti (1637–1712) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, working in Venice. His style gravitated over the years from a turgid and academic weightiness to a lighter, looser brushstroke.
