Description
Rembrandt's Abraham and the Angels is a captivating image from 1646, one of the artist's lesser-known masterpieces. This painting has been privately held and exhibited only a handful of times, making it a rare glimpse into Rembrandt's unique approach to Biblical subjects. In Divine Encounter, Joanna Sheers Seidenstein explores this extraordinary work alongside other biblical episodes featuring Abraham encountering God and his angels. The book examines these works in relation to theological, philosophical, and artistic debates of the period, comparing them with versions by Rembrandt's contemporaries.
