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.

The Holy Trinity, oil painting

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.
