1480
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Trinity is a 1480 by German 15th Century, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This looks like a faded piece of old paper with brown and black splotches. The colors are muddy and uneven, like someone splattered paint and let it dry crooked. The edges are rough, and the whole thing looks worn. The dark spots might be letters or shapes, but it’s hard to tell. It’s not a clear picture—more like a ghost of one. Next, check out technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and dark work together.
This 15th-century German artist carved vivid religious scenes into metal and wood, then hand-painted them in bright, symbolic colors.
