About the piece

Painted around 1750 by the Venetian master Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, this work depicts God the Father with a majestic white beard and a scepter. The composition is enriched by the presence of a white dove representing the Holy Spirit, rendered with the soft, luminous light and deep shadows typical of late Baroque painting.
