Trinity Sunday Art Series: El Greco

 

Here is a depiction of the Trinity that is very different from those relying on Genesis 18.  It is by El Greco.   It was painted in the late 16th century and is presently in the Prado museum in Madrid, Spain. The medium is oil on canvas and it measures 118 inches by 70 inches.

There is an interesting Wikipedia article about El Greco who was indeed from Greece (Crete), spent time in various cities and eventually settled in Spain where he received important commissions, one of which included this artwork.
