Double Trinity – Colonial School of Lima – mid-18th century
Oil on copper. 22 x 17 cm. 30 x 25 x 3 cm (frame). Representation of the so-called Double Trinity: in the earthly realm, the Virgin Mary and Saint Joseph lead the Christ Child by the hand; in the heavenly realm, God the Father appears among clouds and cherubim, holding the orb, while the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, occupies the central axis between the two realms. A landscape unfolds in the background. Gilt frame from a later period.
