holding a dying Christ, while the holy spirit is represented by a dove.
This captivating 17th-century Italian oil-on-panel painting masterfully captures the solemnity and reverence of the Crucifixion scene intertwined with the profound theological symbolism of the Holy Trinity.
At the forefront of the composition stands the central figure of Christ on the Cross, his form rendered with poignant detail and emotive expression. The artist skillfully conveys the weight of his sacrifice through subtle nuances of light and shadow, emphasizing the agony of his ordeal.
Flanking the crucified Christ are the angels representing the other two persons of the Holy Trinity. God the Father, is depicted in regal attire, his countenance exuding divine majesty and paternal concern. His outstretched hand gestures towards the suffering Christ, symbolizing both the act of divine approval and the unwavering love of a father for his son.
The Holy Spirit, symbolized by a dove or in human form, hovers with ethereal grace, its presence serving as a symbol of comfort and guidance amidst the anguish of the Crucifixion. The delicate brushwork and subtle use of colour imbue this celestial figure with an aura of otherworldly serenity.
Probably painted in the late 17th century.
