The Hospitality of Abraham (Holy Trinity)
Rublev's three angelic visitors draw on Genesis 18 and are received in a Trinitarian interpretation. This is biblical typology, not a literal portrait of the invisible divine essence.
Key points
- Start with the three visitors and their shared table from the hospitality of Abraham.
- The balanced composition invites contemplation of communion and unity.
- Individual identifications and detailed color symbolism are interpretive; the image does not establish that God's essence has three human bodies.
