Abraham and Isaac on Their Way to Mount Moriah is a 1500 by Peregrino da Cesena, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a group of men carrying a large, curved frame—likely a stretcher—with a figure inside it. Trees and bushes fill the background, and the men look serious. One man holds a staff, another leans on a pole, and a third stands nearby with his hands on his hips. The figure on the stretcher is wrapped like a bundle, which hints at a story about sacrifice. This kind of scene was common in Renaissance art, where religious stories were often depicted in prints. Look up Renaissance to see how artists told these stories in new ways.
