EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the right panel of Hans Memling's "Triptych of the Resurrection: The Ascension". Painted between 1485 and 1490, this oil on oak masterpiece measures 61.8x18.5 cm and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The panel depicts a momentous scene from Christian theology - Christ's ascension into heaven. With eyes raised to the heavens, his hands clasped in prayerful motion, and surrounded by a jubilant crowd below him, Christ appears to be effortlessly ascending towards the skies. The hills in the background add depth to the composition while symbolizing an earthly realm left behind. Memling's meticulous attention to detail shines through as he captures every nuance of expression on each face within this animated gathering. This Flemish artist masterfully combines Gothic and medieval influences with his own unique style, creating a visually stunning piece that transports viewers back to early Netherlandish painting. Dating back to the 15th century, this triptych serves as an altarpiece dedicated to depicting scenes related to resurrection. Its profound spiritual significance resonates even today as it continues to inspire awe and praise for its artistic brilliance.
