Vision During a Mass
Belisario Corenzioca. 1630
Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
New York, United States
Worshippers kneel at the steps of the altar. The priest officiating the mass, his back turned to the congregation is looking up in rapture, hands raised in amazement, to a vision of God the Father high on a cloud, upheld by angels, overlooking the Mass below, while the Dove of the Holy Spirit shines the light upon the Scriptures proferred by angels.
