Hemelvaart 1502 - 1510

"Hemelvaart" (Ascension), a woodcut by Hans Lützelburger, depicts the ascension of Christ into heaven. The scene is divided into two parts: the upper section shows Christ surrounded by angels, while the lower section depicts the disciples gazing upwards as Christ ascends. Lützelburger, a German artist active in the early 16th century, utilized the woodcut technique to create this detailed and expressive piece, showcasing his mastery of the medium. The artwork, created between 1502 and 1510, is a testament to the artist's talent and the popularity of religious themes in art during the Renaissance.
