Abraham, Sara and an Angel 1520

"Abraham, Sara and an Angel" painted in 1520 by Jan Provoost depicts a scene from the Bible where an angel announces to Abraham and Sarah the birth of their son Isaac. The artwork, now located at the Louvre Museum in Paris, captures a moment of wonder and disbelief as Abraham gestures towards his wife Sarah who peeks out from the doorway in astonishment. The detail of the dog lying at Abraham's feet adds a touch of realism and intimacy to the scene. Provoost's mastery of oil paint is evident in the rich colors and textures of the clothing and the background. This scene showcases Provoost's talent for narrating a Biblical story with great emotion and attention to detail.
