1965 marked a return to the old masters theme featuring 'The Heavenly
and Earthly Trinities (The Pedroso Murillo)' by Bartolome Esteban
Murillo.
The subject of the painting is comparatively rare, derived
from the Gospel episode of the return of Jesus from the Temple with Mary
and Saint Joseph. The three figures form an 'earthly' trinity while
the dove and the figure of God the Father form the 'heavenly'
Trinity.
