The Trinity 1488 - 1501

"The Trinity" is a small-scale tempera painting by Italian artist Bartolomeo di Giovanni (1488-1501) and housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The painting depicts a central figure of Christ crucified, with the Virgin Mary and angels, creating a traditional and solemn depiction of the Trinity. The painting is set within an ornate gold frame that is typical of the period and may be a later addition. It is a prime example of early 16th century Florentine painting.
