About this work

The painting depicts a serene scene of the Holy Trinity, with God the Father at its center. He is shown with long white hair and a beard, wearing a red robe adorned with jewels and a green cloak. In his hands, he holds a large brown cross, upon which Jesus Christ is crucified. A white dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, hovers above Jesus' head. Two angels, one on each side, gaze upwards towards God. The background features a vibrant yellow patterned wall and a red carpet. A quiet detail in the painting is the intricate design on God's robe, which adds to the overall sense of grandeur and reverence. The use of red and green hues creates a striking contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the central figures. This painting is reminiscent of the works held at the Hungarian National Gallery.
