The Ascension of Christ, from The Fall and Salvation of Mankind Through the Life and Passion of Christ 1508 - 1518

Albrecht Altdorfer's "The Ascension of Christ," from his series "The Fall and Salvation of Mankind Through the Life and Passion of Christ" depicts the moment Christ ascends into heaven after his resurrection. This woodcut, created between 1508 and 1518, shows Christ rising into the clouds, while a group of disciples look up in awe. The dramatic composition and detailed figures are characteristic of Altdorfer's style, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual weight of the scene. The print is currently in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
