The Holy Trinity by El Greco, 1577 - 1579. Recorded on October 2, 2024

This work used to crown the main altarpiece of the convent of Santo Domingo el Antiguo (Toledo). It was the first commission El Greco received on his arrival in Spain, along with some other paintings. The Trinity had to be seen at a significant height, which partly explains the perspective, monumentality, and sculptural sense of the figures, typical of El Greco´s early period in Toledo.
