Abraham and the Three Angels 

"Abraham and the Three Angels" is a painting by the Italian Baroque artist Luca Giordano (1634-1705). The painting depicts the biblical story of Abraham's encounter with three angels, who announced the birth of his son Isaac. The central angel, dressed in a blue robe, appears to be gesturing toward Abraham while the other two stand behind her. The scene is rendered in a dynamic and expressive style, characteristic of Giordano's work. The painting is a striking example of the artist's ability to capture the drama and emotion of a biblical narrative. The use of light and shadow helps to create a sense of depth and realism, while the swirling composition emphasizes the sense of movement and energy in the scene. This artwork is a testament to the enduring power of religious art and a testament to Luca Giordano's skillful hand.
