El Greco has depicted God in an unorthodox way. The mitre, usually a bishop's headdress, serves here to clearly distinguish God from the surrounding angels. There is no definite tradition how to depict God, the Father. It is sometimes said the God should not be depicted in a painting. This is not true; there are hundreds of paintings of God.
