This etching by Orazio Borgianni, created in 1615, depicts the biblical story of Abraham and the three angels. The scene unfolds outside a simple dwelling, with Abraham kneeling in reverence as three angels, disguised as travelers, approach. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Borgianni's skill in capturing a moment of profound religious significance through detailed line work and a sense of dramatic composition. The piece is a compelling example of early 17th-century Italian art, highlighting the enduring themes of hospitality and divine intervention found in the Abrahamic tradition.
