EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of divine transcendence. At the top center, amidst billowing clouds, stands The Virgin Mary with her hands clasped in prayer and her right foot gracefully raised. Surrounding her are cherubim, their angelic presence adding to the ethereal atmosphere. Below The Virgin, the twelve apostles stand together, their gestures directed upwards towards this miraculous scene. Domenico Campagnola's engraving from 1517 beautifully portrays this ascension into heaven. The contrast between light and dark adds an element of mystery to the image. The barefoot figures symbolize purity and vulnerability while emphasizing their connection to a higher realm. This artwork is steeped in religious symbolism and represents a significant moment in Christian history - The Ascension of Christ. It invites contemplation on faith, spirituality, and the power of prayer. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Domenico Campagnola showcases his mastery as an Italian artist from the 16th century. Its unique composition surprises viewers with its unusual perspective and evokes a sense of wonderment. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are reminded of the enduring beauty found within religious art that continues to inspire awe across centuries.
