Abraham, God and Two Angels 1852

Gustave Doré's 1852 wood engraving "Abraham, God and Two Angels" depicts the biblical story of God's visit to Abraham. In the scene, a figure, likely meant to represent God, is accompanied by two angels, all standing on a hilltop. Abraham, who is kneeling on a desert plain below, looks up towards them in reverence, his expression a mix of awe and humility. This powerful and dramatic depiction of the biblical story highlights Doré's skill as a wood engraver and his ability to capture religious and spiritual themes in his work.
