Title
Holy Spirit
Description
Composition in light blue tones, yellow, orange, white, earthy and ochre. Smooth texture. Composition serves to finish above the altar of the Lord Bom Jesus da Cana Verde. Holy Spirit represented by a dove, against background of concentric circles in yellow shades, orange and blue. Dove is a little above the center of the composition, from the front, with open wings. He is fat, has large feathered wings represented in layers and open tail fan down. It seems to be flying, seeing to his back a light irradiation which is suggested by seven concentric circles in shades ranging from light yellow to dark blue through orange, darkening the edges. These circles are not fully represented as being larger than the size of the support; only the center circle, that is, involving the dove is represented almost entirely. The other six species formed parallel to each other commas.
