Attributed to Gaspare Diziani around 1737, this oil painting captures the encounter between Abraham and the three angels. The work exemplifies the Venetian Rococo style with its fluid brushwork, luminous colors, and theatrical composition, featuring a striking contrast between the vibrant orange and blue drapery and the dark, atmospheric background.
