I really like the dreamlike, ethereal and hazy depiction of these angels. From what I know, this painting references Genesis 19. It essentially tells a story of God's angels coming to earth to pass judgment on the towns people of Sodom. Knowing the dark story behind this makes it even more compelling.

Pretty sure they weren't from Sodom.... They stopped in to pick up a dude and his family.
