Abraham Bear Dore Entertains Sara Status Supposedly Testament Unaware Sterile
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Gustave Doré depicts a pivotal moment in the Old Testament of the Bible, as Abraham entertains three unassuming angels at his tent in the wilderness. Unbeknownst to the patriarch and his wife Sarah, these celestial beings carry the life-changing news that Sarah, who had been deemed sterile, would miraculously bear a child. The image captures the moment of revelation, with Abraham extending his hospitality to the angels, oblivious to their divine status. Abraham, a central figure in the Abrahamic religions, is shown here as an elderly man, his face etched with the wisdom and experiences of a long life. The angels, clad in flowing robes, seem almost human in their interaction with the couple, adding an air of mystery and wonder to the scene. This historical event, as recorded in the Book of Genesis, is a testament to the power of faith and the unexpected twists that life can bring. Sarah's pregnancy and the birth of their son, Isaac, would go on to shape the course of history, as the ancestors of the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths all trace their lineage back to this family. Gustave Doré's masterful interpretation of this biblical tale brings the story to life, transporting us back to a time when the divine intersected with the everyday, and the impossible became possible through faith and belief.
