{"product_id":"9781911282037","title":"Divine Encounter: Rembrandt's Abraham and the Angels","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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, \u003ci\u003eAbraham Entertaining the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e , is among the artist’s lesser-known masterpieces and it is the inspiration for \u003ci\u003eDivine Encounter\u003c\/i\u003e . 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbraham and the Angels\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D Giles Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47043935863024,"sku":"9781911282037","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781911282037_p0.jpg?v=1763631764","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781911282037","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
