EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century painting, titled "Abraham's Hospitality and Sacrifice," is a masterpiece from the Greek School, showcasing the biblical story found in the Book of Genesis. The scene depicts Abraham, an elderly man with a wise and serene expression, seated at a golden table adorned with a rich tablecloth. Flanked by his wife Sarah and their servant, they warmly welcome the unexpected visitors, the angels in disguise. Abraham's son, Ishmael, and a group of men are also present, gathered around the table, engaged in conversation. The central focus of the painting is Abraham's act of hospitality and his willingness to sacrifice his only son, Isaac, as an offering to God. The golden lamb, symbolizing Isaac, is seen resting on the table, ready to be sacrificed. The scene is filled with intricate details, from the ornate furniture and colorful textiles to the delicate folds of the robes worn by the figures. This painting, executed in tempera on wood, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Greek School during the 17th century. It is a reminder of the importance of hospitality and faith in the Old Testament and the enduring influence of religious themes in art. The painting is now housed in the Musée du Petit Palais in Paris, a renowned museum for European art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and the development of European art.
