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.
