EDITORS COMMENTS
Three Angels Hosted by Abraham: A 13th Century Mosaic Masterpiece in the Atrium of St. Mark's Basilica, Venice, Italy This exquisite mosaic, dating back to the 13th century, is a breathtaking testament to the rich artistic heritage of Byzantium and the enduring influence of the Bible on Christian art. Located in the atrium of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy, this masterpiece depicts the episode of the Three Angels visiting Abraham, as described in the Old Testament of the Bible. The mosaic, composed of intricately cut and carefully placed tesserae of glass and gold, is a prime example of the opus tessellatum technique, which was popular during the Byzantine period. The scene unfolds before us, with Abraham, the patriarch, seated on his cathedra, or throne, receiving the three angels with open arms. The angels, dressed in flowing robes and bearing golden vessels, appear serene and otherworldly, their faces expressing a sense of divine benevolence. The mosaic's intricate details and vibrant colors, which have been beautifully preserved over the centuries, are a feast for the eyes. The gold tesserae, which are used to depict the angels' robes and the rays of light emanating from them, add an ethereal quality to the scene. The glass tesserae, which range in color from deep blues and greens to brilliant reds and yellows, create a stunning visual effect, particularly when the sunlight streams in through the basilica's windows. This mosaic, with its intricate design and biblical subject matter, is a must-see for anyone visiting St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. It is a reminder of the rich history and artistic traditions that have shaped the Christian faith and continue to inspire us today.
