The Holy Trinity 1485 - 1528

Albrecht Dürer's "The Holy Trinity" (1485 - 1528) is a masterful engraving that depicts the Christian concept of the Trinity. The image showcases God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit in a complex composition. God the Father, depicted as an elderly man with a papal tiara, sits above Christ, who rests upon a cloud-filled sky. The Holy Spirit is represented as a dove flying above them. Dürer's meticulous attention to detail and masterful use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and realism in this powerful work.
