"Abraham and the Three Angels" (1730) by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo depicts the biblical story of Abraham's encounter with three angels, a scene celebrated for its dramatic use of light and vibrant color. Tiepolo's dynamic composition, with the angels seemingly floating on a cloud, showcases his signature Rococo style, characterized by playful movement and ornate details. The painting is located in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice, a testament to Tiepolo's influence on Venetian art during the 18th century.
