Mourning Trinity (Throne of God) 1435

Robert Campin's "Mourning Trinity (Throne of God)" (1435) depicts a poignant scene of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father holding the dead Christ. The image highlights the suffering and sacrifice of Christ, with the dove representing the Holy Spirit. This small yet powerful painting, now housed in the Hermitage Museum, Saint Petersburg, is a prime example of early Netherlandish painting with its detailed figures and meticulous rendering of drapery. The work's intimate scale and emotive composition contribute to its profound impact on viewers.
