About this painting
God the Father stands behind the cross, gripping its arms, feet planted as if bearing weight. A dove hangs above Christ's head on the same line — Father, Spirit, Son joined in one axis, inside a chapel painted to look cut into the wall.
At its foot lies a skeleton in a tomb, telling the worshipper: what you are, I once was; what I am, you will become. Two unnamed donors kneel outside the painted arch, on the same step as the floor.
In 1570 a stone altar sealed the fresco. It stayed hidden until the nineteenth century.
