EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled "Ascension de Jésus-Christ" (Ascension of Jesus Christ) by Honore Daumier, dates back to the 19th century and was first exhibited at the Salon of 1841 in France. Daumier, a renowned French artist and caricaturist, masterfully depicted this biblical scene with a unique blend of humor and historical accuracy. The Ascension of Christ is a significant event in Christian theology, marking the moment when Jesus ascended into heaven following his resurrection. In this stunning lithograph, Daumier captures the essence of the scene with intricate detail and a monochrome palette, using the medium of lithotint for a rich, grey tonality. The composition is centered around the figure of Christ, who is shown in a serene and regal pose, surrounded by the disciples and angels. The disciples, depicted with individual expressions of awe and reverence, are shown in various stages of ascension, some with their feet still touching the ground while others have already been lifted into the heavens. The angels, with their wings spread out, create a sense of movement and dynamism, emphasizing the miraculous nature of the event. Daumier's masterful use of line and form, combined with his keen sense of humor, adds a distinctly human touch to this biblical scene. The artist's ability to capture the emotions and reactions of the characters, as well as the overall sense of wonder and awe, makes this a truly captivating work of art. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring influence of Honore Daumier's art. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, Christianity, or the human condition. This print is now part of the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to another time and place.
