Description: | Three putti hold a golden chalice and another three fly around amid an outburst of clouds, which signifies the supernatural character of the scene. The chalice and the sacramental bread floating over it represent Christ's blood and body respectively, while the white dove of the Holy Spirit and God the Father complete the Trinity. Subjects and emblems related to the Eucharist became especially popular in Catholic countries from the Counter-Reformation. This is probably the work of a very minor Spanish artist active around the last third of the seventeenth century. | Subjects: | religion (Eucharist Trinity); allegory (Eucharist) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Spanish School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8541... | Go to resource |
