EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Ms Plt 1 56 The Ascension" from the Rabula Gospels, a remarkable manuscript dating back to 586 AD. Created by the Byzantine School in the 6th century, this vellum artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Medicea-Laurenziana in Florence, Italy. The image depicts a scene of profound spiritual significance – the moment of Jesus Christ's ascension into heaven. Painted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors on vellum, this masterpiece was written by the monk Rabula at the Monastery of St. John the Evangelist in Zagba, Syria. Intricately portrayed are various biblical figures such as apostles and angels surrounding Jesus as he rises towards a radiant mandorla. The Virgin Mary stands among them, her expression filled with awe and reverence for her son's divine departure. Every element within this evangeliary exudes an air of sacredness and devotion. The presence of seraphs adds another layer of celestial beauty to this ethereal composition. With its historical significance and artistic excellence, "Ms Plt 1 56 The Ascension" serves as a testament to both religious devotion and exceptional craftsmanship. This photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured on vellum by Bridgeman Images while preserving an important piece of Byzantine art history for generations to come.
