Painting of the Holy Trinity: a bearded God the Father in a golden halo supports the dead Christ on clouds, with a dove above and two putti at the sides.

La Sainte Trinité

An oil painting of the Holy Trinity shows God the Father, bearded and haloed in golden light, holding the body of the dead Christ across billowing clouds. A dove of the Holy Spirit hovers above, and two nude putti flank the scene, one holding a long staff. Dramatic light and dark clouds give the composition a Baroque energy.

Español: La Santísima Trinidad, pintura al óleo

Una pintura al óleo de la Santísima Trinidad muestra a Dios Padre, de barba y con aureola de luz dorada, sosteniendo el cuerpo de Cristo muerto sobre nubes arremolinadas. Una paloma del Espíritu Santo flota en lo alto, y dos putti desnudos flanquean la escena, uno de ellos con un largo bastón. La luz intensa y las nubes oscuras dan a la composición una fuerza barroca.

Uma pintura a óleo da Santíssima Trindade mostra Deus Pai, barbudo e com auréola de luz dourada, sustentando o corpo de Cristo morto sobre nuvens revoltas. Uma pomba do Espírito Santo paira no alto, e dois putti nus ladeiam a cena, um deles segurando uma haste longa. A luz intensa e as nuvens escuras dão à composição uma energia barroca.
