De Grebber was not only a pioneer of formalistic innovations and stylistic advances among the Haarlem Classicists, but also an original contributor to Christian iconographyThe systematic study and identification of the subject-matter and symbolism of art works, as opposed to their style; the set of symbolic forms on which a given work is based. Originally, the study and identification of classical portraits. Renaissance art drew heavily on two iconographical traditions: Christianity, and ancient Greek and Roman art, thought and literature.. In this painting he offers an unprecedented interpretation of the time-honoured theme and concept of the Trinityin Christianity, the term used for the existence of one God in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.. Christ kneels before God the Father and the shining dove of the Holy Spirit. Wearing a papal tiara and ecclesiastical vestments, the Almighty sits enthroned in the clouds and gestures to his son, directing him to sit on a second throne decorated with winged and gilt cherubim to his right.
