The Holy Trinity (1577) is a oil on canvas painting by the Spanish Renaissance painter, sculptor and architect El Greco. Painted for the attic of the High Altarpiece of Santo Domingo el Antiguo, Toledo, to go above the Assumption. Probably painted 1577-78, following the Assumption. It was El Greco's first commission upon his arrival in Toleedo in 1577. It gained great fame in Toledo, which was artistically rather archaic and provincial, and established a successful career for El Greco in the town. The painting (300 x 179 cm) is in the collection of the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
