Abraham Angels Biblical Chapter Genesis Kneeling Patriarch Testament Verse Woodcut Xviii
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century woodcut depicts the pivotal moment from the Old Testament book of Genesis, chapter eighteen, verse one, where Abraham encounters three angels at the oak of Mamre. The scene unfolds with Abraham, portrayed as an aged and humble man, kneeling before the divine visitors, extending his hospitality and warm welcome. The angels, dressed in flowing robes and radiant halos, appear serene and benevolent, as they accept Abraham's offer of water and rest. This woodcut masterfully captures the essence of Abraham's unwavering faith and devotion, as he recognizes the divine presence and responds with unparalleled generosity and kindness. The intricate details of the artwork, from the textured woodgrain to the delicate lines and shading, bring the story to life and transport the viewer back in time to the ancient land of Canaan. This image is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical narrative and the timeless beauty of the woodcut medium.
