El Greco Belgian Tapestry Wall Art

El Greco Belgian Tapestry Wall Art

The Trinity, or Trinidad, is a Belgian wall tapestry. It comes from the work of the Spanish painter El Greco. Originally painted for the attic of the High Altarpiece of Santo Domingo el Antiguo, Toledo, to go above the Assumption. Probably painted 1577-78, following the Assumption. It was El Greco's first commission upon his arrival in Toledo in 1577. It gained great fame in Toledo, which was artistically rather archaic and provincial, and established a successful career for El Greco in the town. It now resides in the museum El Padro in Madrid. A fine accent to your home décor.
