In this powerful scene, we witness the dramatic moment when Ananias breathes his last breath while being observed by a group of solemn apostles.

Each figure is meticulously detailed, emphasizing their individual expressions and gestures that convey grief, shock, or contemplation. Ugo da Carpi's woodcut technique adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Through this medium, he brings to life an important episode in Christianity with remarkable precision and artistic finesse.
