The Ascension |
||||||||
|
||||||||
| Forty days after the Resurrection, Christ ascends
to heaven. Everything in this fresco is directed towards the heavens. This one of the earliest examples in
Italian art of a human figure in supernatural levitation. After Giotto, the Ascension and the
Assumption were among the most popular themes in fourteenth century painting. |
