EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print "Abraham Entertaining the Angels, 1656" by Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn transports us to a moment of divine encounter and hospitality. This exquisite engraving, measuring 6 1/4 x 5 3/16 inches, showcases the masterful skill of one of history's greatest artists. In this scene from biblical lore, Abraham is depicted as a gracious host entertaining three angelic visitors. The composition radiates warmth and serenity as the figures gather around a table adorned with sumptuous food and drink. Rembrandt's meticulous attention to detail brings each character to life; their expressions convey awe, reverence, and wonder at the celestial presence before them. Through his use of light and shadow, Rembrandt creates an ethereal atmosphere that envelops the entire scene. The play of light on Abraham's face illuminates his faith-filled countenance while casting gentle shadows on the angels' wings—a testament to their heavenly nature. This print is part of The William M. Ladd Collection at Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA—an institution known for its dedication to preserving and showcasing exceptional works of art throughout history.
