The Transfiguration, a painting by the renowned High Renaissance artist Raphael, depicts the biblical story of Jesus' transfiguration. In the upper portion of the painting, Jesus ascends to heaven, surrounded by radiant light, while Moses and Elijah appear beside him. Below, the disciples are shown witnessing the event, their faces filled with awe and wonder. This dramatic portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian scripture showcases Raphael's mastery of composition, perspective, and the use of light and shadow, making it a masterpiece of the High Renaissance style.
