medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I have encountered this motif in Trinity statues & paintings, first in a
statue at the Art Institute in Chicago. One also can find the father with
a royal crown - for example, in a relief carving on display at the Walters
Art Gallery here in Baltimore. Both need study for origin & decline. The
image of the father with the papal tiara does seem to fall off after the
Reformation crisis.
More specific information might be found though Princeton's Index of
Christian Art.
