EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite icon from Crete, dating back to the 18th century. Painted by the Greek School, this tempera on wood masterpiece measures 30.3x24.4 cm and is currently housed in the Lindenau Museum in Altenburg, Germany. The focal point of this iconic artwork is the Holy Trinity, depicted with utmost reverence and skill. The divine figures of God the Father, Jesus Christ (the Son), and the Holy Spirit are beautifully portrayed in a harmonious composition. Seated majestically amidst heavenly clouds, they exude an aura of serenity and wisdom. A striking element within this piece is a dove representing the Holy Ghost gracefully hovering above them. Its presence symbolizes purity and peace as it hovers near an orb held by Jesus Christ's hand - a representation of his dominion over all creation. The artist's attention to detail is evident throughout; every brushstroke meticulously captures each figure's expression and gesture. This painting not only serves as a religious artifact but also highlights nature's beauty through its inclusion of various birds such as doves and sea birds. Bridgeman Images has flawlessly captured this profound work of art through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance even from afar. It serves as a testament to human creativity while inviting contemplation on matters beyond our earthly existence
