Abraham and the three Angels 16th century

"Abraham and the three Angels" is a set of four 16th-century plaquettes by German artist Peter Flötner, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Each plaquette depicts a scene from the biblical story of Abraham's hospitality to the three angels. The plaquettes are made of pewter and measure a small 2 1/16 × 3 15/16 in. (5.2 × 10 cm). Flötner, born in 1485 and died in 1546, is known for his intricate and detailed work, and these plaquettes are a prime example of his mastery of the medium. They were likely created to adorn a personal devotional space.
