Lichaam van Christus op de schoot van God de Vader 1613

Hieronymus Lederer's "Lichaam van Christus op de schoot van God de Vader" is a 1613 engraving depicting a scene of Christ's ascension. The image depicts Christ's body resting upon God the Father's lap, while a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, flies above. The composition utilizes the technique of foreshortening to make Christ's body appear as though it is extending into the space of the viewer. The image is a powerful example of Baroque art, capturing the intensity and drama of the subject matter.
