The Appearance of the Three Angels to Abraham at the Oak of Mambria by Karl Bryullov

Having written a picture on the theme set by the Academy of Arts, Bryullov received a gold medal. The painting was exhibited at an academic exhibition in 1821.

Abraham is the founder of the Israeli people, the main character of the biblical events. In the midday heat to Abraham, sitting at the tent, stretched in the Mamvrii oak, came three travelers and asked for shelter. Abraham hospitably received the guests, unaware that they were angels. At the meal one of them predicted to Abraham that he would have a child. Soon the prophecy came true – the wife of Abraham Sarah had a son, who was named Isaac.
