Painting
Abraham and the Three Angels is a c. 1670-1674 oil on canvas painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, now in the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, which bought it in 1948. The work is one of eight paintings commissioned for Seville's Hermandad de la Caridad, to which the artist himself belonged and one of whose commandments was to clothe the naked.
Four of those eight works remain in Seville, whereas the Ottawa work and the remaining three were looted by Napoleon's army in 1810.
