Painting by El Greco
Holy Trinity is a c.1577–1579 oil on canvas painting by
El Greco, one of nine works he produced for the
Abbey of Santo Domingo de Silos.
Ferdinand VII of Spain acquired it from the sculptor
Valeriano Salvatierra in 1832 and it now hangs in the
Prado Museum in Madrid.
It shows
God the Father holding the dead body of
God the Son, both under the dove of the
Holy Spirit.
[1] The anatomy of the figures is influenced by that of
Michelangelo, whilst the chromaticism recalls that of
Tintoretto and the composition those of
Albrecht Dürer.
