The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham
1726-1729 Fresco, 4000 x 2000 cm Palazzo Patriarcale, Udine Abraham kneels in prayer, awed by the appearance of the three angels, who float on a very solid-looking white cloud. The scene illustrates both the promise to make Abraham "a father of many nations" and the favour shown by God towards him, as described in the book of Genesis. Although the divine origin of the angels is made clear by their being placed in the upper portion of the picture, Tiepolo has portrayed them with very human features.Artist:TIEPOLO, Giovanni Battista Title: The Three Angels Appearing to Abraham Painted in 1701-1750 , Italian - - painting : religious
