About this work

This image shows a gold-leaf background with five robed figures standing below a glowing circle. The figures have dark faces and halos, dressed in flowing robes of red, blue, and green. Above them, a seated figure with a beard and wings holds a book. The painting’s bright colors and dramatic halos are typical of religious art meant to feel sacred. The figures look upward, as if reaching toward the light. Next, check out the Baroque movement to see more art like this.
