EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable plaque depicting the Ascension, possibly from a book cover. Crafted from ivory, this delicate artwork measures 0.19x0.12 cm and is currently housed in the Bayerische Staatsgemaldesammlungen in Munich, Germany. The scene depicted on the plaque portrays the momentous event of Christ's Ascension into heaven. The composition captures the essence of this sacred occasion with great detail and finesse. A sense of awe and wonder emanates from the image as Jesus ascends towards the heavens, surrounded by an ethereal light that illuminates his figure. Intriguingly, at the bottom of this exquisite artwork lies another depiction - Holy Women at the Tomb. This additional element adds depth to the narrative presented within this piece, connecting two significant moments in Christian history. The presence of birds soaring above Mount Olivet further enhances both scenes' symbolism, representing freedom and spiritual transcendence. Meanwhile, three Maries stand beneath an olive tree near a sepulcher – their expressions filled with sorrowful weeping. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact captured through photography by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness these pivotal events firsthand. Despite its age, this plaque continues to evoke profound emotions and inspire contemplation about faith and spirituality.
