Icon of the New Testament Trinity, c. 1450. Creator: Unknown

Icon of the New Testament Trinity, c. 1450. This icon depicts an important subject in Orthodox Christian art, the three corresponding figures of the single godhead known as the Holy Trinity. The Trinity is represented here in a composition known as the " New Testament Trinity, " which features Christ and God the Father seated on a bench with a dove representing the Holy Spirit between them. The central field is occupied by a large wooden throne with gold highlights on which Christ (left) and the Ancient of the Days (God the Father as Christ in old age) are seated. The Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, hovers within an eight-pointed star that signifies the eighth day, the future eon. On either side of the Trinity are two hymnographers, authors of hymns of praise, both identified by gold letters outlined in red--Saint Kosmas (about 675-752) on the left and Saint Joseph (about 812/818-about 886) on the right. They both suspend scrolls from round-arched windows. The icon likely was part of a church templon, the barrier that separated the nave from the sanctuary in an Orthodox church. It is not signed or dated; however, careful analysis of the paintings style and technique places it in Constantinople around 1450, just prior to the citys fall to the Ottomans in 1453. It represents a moment when Byzantine painting reached a brilliant crescendo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Icon of the New Testament Trinity" created by an unknown artist around 1450. Orthodox Christian art often depicts the Holy Trinity, and this composition is known as the "New Testament Trinity". The central focus of the icon features Christ and God the Father seated on a bench, with a dove representing the Holy Spirit between them. A magnificent wooden throne adorned with gold highlights occupies the central field, where Christ and God the Father are seated. Within an eight-pointed star symbolizing the future eon, hovers the Holy Spirit in dove form. Flanking either side of this divine scene are two hymnographers, Saint Kosmas on one side and Saint Joseph on another. Both figures hold scrolls suspended from round-arched windows. This remarkable icon was likely part of a church templon that separated the nave from sanctuary in an Orthodox church. Although unsigned and undated, careful analysis suggests that it originated in Constantinople around 1450 before its fall to Ottoman rule in 1453. This period marked a pinnacle for Byzantine painting when it reached extraordinary heights. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has beautifully captured this significant piece through their photo print, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details and spiritual symbolism without commercial intentions but rather for artistic appreciation purposes only.
