The Trinity is a 1465 ink by Master of the Berlin Passion, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white print shows an old man with a long beard and crown, holding a smaller figure. The man looks powerful, with a globe and cross nearby. Sunlight rays burst behind his head, and an angel floats above. The small figure looks like a sleeping person wrapped in cloth. The picture feels like a story, not just a portrait. This is an example of engraving, a printmaking technique.
Master of the Berlin Passion (1465–1465) was an artist.
