EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Altarpiece from Thuison-les-Abbeville: The Ascension" a remarkable piece of art created between 1490 and 1500 by an unknown artist. This stunning altarpiece, displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in its rich historical context. The painting depicts the ascension of Christ Jesus, a pivotal moment in Christian theology. Vibrant colors dominate the composition, with deep blues and fiery reds evoking a sense of awe and spirituality. A group of men and women kneel before this divine scene, their postures reflecting both reverence and disbelief. The Altarpiece's origin lies in France, specifically in Thuison-les-Abbeville—a small village nestled within Picardy. It is believed to have adorned a monastery or church altar dedicated to Saint Honoré. The meticulous oil painting technique on panel adds depth and texture to each brushstroke, enhancing our appreciation for this Renaissance masterpiece. As we gaze upon this artwork through time's lens, we are reminded of Europe's religious heritage during that era. The Altarpiece stands as a testament to Roman Catholicism's influence on art and society throughout history. This print invites us into an enchanting world where faith intertwines with artistic expression. It serves as a window into the past—an opportunity to reflect on centuries-old traditions while marveling at the skillful craftsmanship that has preserved this cultural treasure
