Aardse en hemelse Drieëenheid 1629

"Aardse en hemelse Drieëenheid" is an etching by Dutch artist Christoffel van (II) Sichem, completed in 1629. The etching depicts the Holy Trinity, with God the Father above, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and God the Son in the center flanked by the Virgin Mary and God the Father. The Holy Trinity is depicted in a traditional manner, with God the Father as an older man with a long beard, the Holy Spirit as a dove, and God the Son as a young man. The etching is a fine example of Sichem's work and his ability to translate religious iconography into a visual form. It is a small work, but it is powerful in its depiction of the Trinity. The etching is currently part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
