EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Fall Redemption Man Ascension 1515" by Albrecht Altdorfer, we are transported to a moment of profound spiritual significance. Created in the early 16th century, the artwork portrays the biblical narrative of the fall and redemption of man through a scene known as The Ascension. Altdorfer's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail of this woodcut. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring to life a composition filled with symbolism and emotion. As we gaze upon the image, we witness humanity's journey from sin and despair towards salvation and transcendence. The central figure, representing Christ, ascends towards heaven amidst swirling clouds while surrounded by angels. His outstretched arms convey both power and compassion as he lifts mankind from its fallen state.

Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Altdorfer creates a dramatic contrast between darkness and illumination. This visual juxtaposition serves as a metaphor for the eternal struggle between good and evil that resonates within each human soul. As viewers engage with this remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection, they are invited to reflect on themes such as redemption, faith, forgiveness, and hope. It reminds us that despite our flaws or past mistakes, there is always an opportunity for transformation if we seek it earnestly. Albrecht Altdorfer's "Fall
