Paternity (Trinity) with Saints 1415

This 1415 icon from the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, depicting the Trinity with Saints, is a quintessential example of Byzantine art. The central figures of God the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus Christ are depicted in a traditional hieratic style, characterized by rigid postures and simplified forms. The icon's golden background emphasizes its sacred nature, while the use of bright colors and intricate details contribute to its devotional purpose. The inclusion of saints and angels adds to the icon's complex religious symbolism, making it a powerful object of faith for Orthodox believers.
