This anonymous 1576 engraving, "The Triumph of the Sacrament," is a powerful image of faith. The central figure is God the Father, depicted with a long beard and robe, holding a chalice aloft with both hands, surrounded by a multitude of angels. The chalice represents the Eucharist, which is believed to be the body and blood of Christ. Below, various figures gaze upwards in worship. The scene emphasizes the significance and divine nature of the Sacrament in the Catholic tradition. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery in art.
