"The Trinity Adored by All Saints" is a monumental triptych, a three-paneled altarpiece, dating back to 1395 - 1405. This anonymous work, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the traditional iconography of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit, with a host of saints flanking the central panel. The painting's Gothic style, with its intricate details and use of gold leaf, evokes a sense of reverence and awe, mirroring the devotional practices of its time. The altarpiece’s powerful imagery, encompassing heaven and hell, was intended to inspire awe and piety in viewers.
