Drieëenheid 1683

"Drieëenheid" (Trinity), a 1683 etching by Sébastien Leclerc I, depicts a traditional Christian representation of the Holy Trinity. The composition features God the Father and God the Son seated on clouds, with the Holy Spirit, symbolized by a dove, hovering above them. The figures are bathed in a radiant light, emphasizing the divine nature of the scene. Leclerc's meticulous linework and attention to detail bring the scene to life, making it a powerful testament to the enduring influence of Christian iconography. The etching, now in the Rijksmuseum, is a prime example of Leclerc's skill as an engraver and his ability to capture the essence of religious imagery.
