In 1646, on a panel fewer than nine inches wide, Rembrandt van Rijn
(1606-1669) produced one of his most captivating images. In private
hands and publicly exhibited only a handful of times, this
extraordinary painting, Abraham Entertaining the Angels, is among
the artist's lesser-known masterpieces and it is the inspiration
for Divine Encounter. 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. Abraham 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.
