Abraham and the three angels  Translated
Description:
Large 18th-century oil painting on canvas (original canvas), depicting Abraham welcoming three travelers, who are actually God accompanied by two angels, namely Michael, protector of Israel, and Raphael, the healing angel, because Abraham had recently been circumcised and needed to be healed. Abraham is open, hospitable, brings water, food, makes them comfortable, stands and serves them while they eat. And after they had eaten and drunk, 'they said to him: 'Where is Sarah?' Abraham replied: 'She is in the tent.' God continues to speak loudly, so that Abraham's wife can also hear. And he says: 'I will return in a year and then Sarah will have had a son and will call him Isaac'..... The large painting should be placed in a spacious environment (living room or hall). cm. 160 x 173 (canvas cm. 135 x 148) the frame is contemporary to the painting Northern Italy  Translated
