Domenichino Zamperini: The Divine

Improved Essays
To represent the divine was the holy light that was given off from Jesus body. The painting from where Jesus is laying we see there is three angels watching from above. Having three angels being depicted in the painting is to represent the trinity the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Also in the picture you can see a dove being held by a little boy to foresee what is to transpire in the future. I believe, the painting goes much deeper than what is actually presented.

However, it can be assumed if it were placed on a small cross that it would most likely give the illusion of the moment that Jesus Christ died in his crucifixion.
