This print showcases a stunning stained glass window depicting the Ascension, created by the French School in the 12th century. With its intricate details and vibrant colors, this artwork measures an impressive 168x116 cm and can be found at Saint Julien Cathedral in Le Mans, France. The scene depicted is none other than the moment when Jesus Christ ascends to heaven, surrounded by his apostles and disciples. The Romanesque style of art is evident through its bold lines and symmetrical composition. At the center of it all stands the Virgin Mary, her serene expression reflecting both awe and sorrow as she witnesses her son's departure. The artist skillfully captures each figure with delicate precision, emphasizing their individual expressions and gestures. This masterpiece not only serves as a religious representation but also highlights the medieval artistic techniques prevalent during that time period.
