Abraham and the Three Angels 1902

"Abraham and the Three Angels" (1902) by James Tissot depicts a scene from the Book of Genesis in which Abraham is visited by three angels. The painting is rendered in a detailed and realistic style characteristic of Tissot's work. Abraham, lying on a rug inside his tent, reaches out towards the three angels standing in the doorway, their figures bathed in a soft light. The scene conveys a sense of reverence and wonder as Abraham receives the divine guests. This artwork is a testament to Tissot's skill in portraying biblical narratives with an air of historical accuracy and emotional depth.
