About the piece

Created in 1662 by Ferdinand Bol, a notable pupil of Rembrandt, this work depicts the biblical narrative of Abraham hosting three celestial visitors. The painting showcases Bol's mastery of chiaroscuro, with the luminous figures of the angels contrasted against the deep, earthy tones of the ancient tree and the glowing sunset visible through a distant arch.
