What does the The Cleveland Museum of Art write about this work of art from the painter and graphic artist Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione? (© Copyright - by The Cleveland Museum of Art - The Cleveland Museum of Art)

This work has long been called Journey of a Patriarch in the belief that the artist intended no specific subject. Recent research by graduate student Tamara Durn of Case Western Reserve University suggests that the painting instead depicts a moment in the Old Testament book of Genesis. Abraham secures a pledge from his servant to find a wife for Abraham’s son Isaac. The servant wears a zamt, a goatskin cap common in North Africa in the 1600s, here dyed an unusual shade of blue, a color associated with faith and trust, symbolizing his sacred oath.
