Dutch, b. 1620
Pieter van Bie is a Dutch Dutch Golden Age artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Pyotr Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky collection.
A Dutch Golden Age painter of biblical scenes, Pieter van Bie worked in the 1640s. His oil painting *The Expulsion of Hagar* (1642) shows the moment Abraham sends Hagar and Ishmael into the desert. Figures kneel in draped robes against a warm, sunlit backdrop, the child’s small hand clutching his mother’s cloak. Look next at *The Expulsion of Hagar*—it’s in the same biblical tradition and shares the same warm palette.
