An Allegory of the Holy Trinity

Artist: Jusepe de Ribera
Artwork: An Allegory of the Holy Trinity
Description: Ribera’s sketch for the altarpiece in the church of the Santisima Trinidad in Seville is a highly original and complex composition. The Holy Trinity is symbolized by three intertwined male figures, each with a distinct physiognomy. The topmost figure is the Father, who holds an orb in his left hand and makes a blessing gesture with his right. The central figure, Christ, is shown with his arms outstretched, while the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove hovers above.
