Symbol of the TrinityAttributed to Gregorio Vásquez de Arce y Ceballos

This Trinitarian allegory (c. 1685) from New Granada portrays God the Father with three faces on a single body—an iconography once common in 16th c. Europe but later condemned as heretical. The circular symbols (Pater, Filius, etc.) express unity and distinction within the Trinity. Two faces, hidden under paint for centuries, resurfaced during the 1988 restoration.
