- Lot Description
**Originally Listed At $500**
Eastern Europe, Russia, ca. 19th century CE. Finely delineated in egg tempera and gold leaf on wood, an icon that depicts the Old Testament Trinity referencing chapter 18 of the Book of Genesis in which three angels appeared to Abraham at the Oak of Mamre. Here we see the trio of winged angels seated with Abraham and his wife Sarah behind - Abraham below the tree and Sarah peeking from the drawn curtain of their home's entrance poised to attend to the visitors. Due to the generosity directed toward the three visitors, this scene is also known as the 'Hospitality of Abraham' and some scholars have interpreted the figures as prefiguring the New Testament Trinity. Size: 10.375" W x 12.125" H (26.4 cm x 30.8 cm)
Icons (icon means "image" in Greek) are sacred objects within the Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition. Found in homes as well as churches, these painted images depict holy persons and saints as well as illustrate scenes from the Scriptures. Icons are not worshiped, but are instead venerated for their ability to focus the power of an individual's prayer to God. As such they are truly "windows into heaven."
