The Hospitality Of Abraham
The Hospitality of Abraham, a symbolic representation of the Holy Trinity. The miniature-like quality of the work, the chromatic richness, the simplicity and balance of the composition, the classicizing beauty of the angels and the elegance of their attitudes, the diffuse light and the lyricism pervading by the representation, make this icon one of the pictorial masterpieces of the Palaiologan renaissance and relate it to an important Constantinopolitan workshop of the last quarter of the 14th c.
