The "Old Testament Trinity" or "Hospitality of Abraham" icon, better known as the Ruble Trinity, is among the most common icons of the Holy Trinity.
The author of this icon is Rev. Andrei Rublev, a famous icon painter from the Moscow School, canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church. The icon was created for the iconostasis of the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, and about a century and a half after its creation, it was declared by the Centennial Council in Russia to be a model of icon painting and of all images of the Holy Trinity.
This is an icon of angels who came to the forefather of the Israelite family - Abraham.
The Bible story tells that before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of evil and sins, he sent angels to warn the righteous Abraham and Sarah. God promised the elderly Abram and Sarah that their long-awaited son would be born, and it happened. On the icon, the angels are depicted next to a small oak, known throughout the world as Abraham's oak.
Rublev's icon has as its main plot the story of the divine visit of three mysterious travelers (angels) to the home of Patriarch Abraham. This story is considered an exemplary discovery of the mystery of the Holy Trinity in the Old Testament: "Abraham met three, but worshiped the One."
We find a similar understanding of this event in the icon of Rev. Andrei Rublev. His image lacks many of the details of the biblical narrative - Abraham and Sarah are absent, the dishes on the table are reduced to one cup, etc. The details are left in the background, and in the center of everything is the image of the Trinity in the form of three angels.
In the icon, everything comes down to the silent communion between the three angels. They stand in a circle around the table. The reverse perspective, which erases notions of near-far, and the lack of active movement give the image a character of contemplation and a sense of eternity. It is a kind of icon of God's love.
The icon is handmade on wood.
Gold, silver and resin were used.
