In private hands and publicly exhibited only a handful of times, this extraordinary painting, \u003ci\u003eAbraham Entertaining the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e, is among the artist's lesser-known masterpieces and it is the inspiration for \u003ci\u003eDivine Encounter\u003c\/i\u003e. Rembrandt took an unusual and dramatic approach to Biblical subjects. He made use of the viewer's knowledge of the subject whilst finding ways to bring the familiar to life, a challenge he took on throughout his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbraham and the Angels is presented alongside a selection of Rembrandt's treatments of other biblical episodes in which Abraham encounters God and his angels. These are examined as a group, compared with versions by Rembrandt's contemporaries, and considered in relation to theological, philosophical and artistic debates of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanna Sheers Seidenstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911282034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911282037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Giles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 7.20w x 0.50d","brand":"Joanna Sheers Seidenstein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43937433682175,"sku":"9781911282037","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_bef58ca7-d24d-4cca-90af-19e1318c4958.jpg?v=1681430039","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/divine-encounter-joanna-sheers-seidenstein-9781911282037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
