Athens, Greece
The Hospitality of Abraham, a symbolic representation of the Holy Trinity. The austere balanced composition, the classicising beauty of the angels with their elegant gestures, the sensitive colouring, the diffuse light and the scene’s lyrical disposition, all link the icon to a good Constantinople workshop. Late 14th c. 0.36x0.623 m. (ΓΕ 2973)
