Landscape with Abraham and Isaac is a 1595 oil by Scarsellino, held at Fitzwilliam Museum.
This painting depicts a serene landscape with a figure in the foreground, possibly Abraham, holding a torch and a sword, while another figure, possibly Isaac, kneels beside him. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills, trees, and a body of water, with a castle or town visible in the distance. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and contrast, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds a sense of drama and tension to the scene. The painting is part of the collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum.
Scarsellino or Ippolito Scarsella (1550 (or 1551) – 28 October 1620) was an Italian mid-to-late sixteenth century reformist painter and one of the most important representatives of the School of Ferrara.
