"Abraham and the Three Angels" is a 13th-century illuminated manuscript painting by William de Brailes, an English artist known for his work in the field of manuscript illumination during the medieval period. The painting is one of the few signed works by an English artist from this era, making it a significant piece in the study of Gothic art and English manuscript illumination. William de Brailes, active in Oxford between about 1230 and 1260, is one of the few English manuscript illuminators of the time whose name is known to us, and his work provides valuable insight into the iconography and artistic practices of the period.

The artwork depicts the biblical scene from Genesis 18, where Abraham is visited by three angels who announce that his wife Sarah will bear a son. The narrative is a key moment in the Old Testament, symbolizing themes of hospitality, divine encounter, and promise. De Brailes' interpretation of this scene is notable for its attention to detail, use of vibrant colors, and the intricate depiction of figures and their expressions, which convey the solemnity and significance of the event.

"Abraham and the Three Angels" is characterized by the Gothic style of its time, with elongated figures and an emphasis on linearity and elegance. The composition typically shows Abraham in the act of welcoming or serving the angels, illustrating the virtues of hospitality and piety. The painting's iconography is rich with symbolism, reflecting the theological and moral values of the period.

The work is considered an important example of de Brailes' oeuvre, which includes a range of religious subjects rendered in a distinctive and expressive style. It contributes to our understanding of the visual culture of 13th-century England and the role of religious narratives in medieval art. Today, "Abraham and the Three Angels" is not only appreciated for its artistic merit but also as a historical artifact that offers insights into the devotional practices and artistic achievements of the Middle Ages. The painting is housed in a collection that allows scholars and the public to engage with a key piece of England's artistic heritage.
