EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stained glass artwork titled "The Crucifixion and the Ascension" by the French School in the 13th century. Located in Poitiers Cathedral, France, this masterpiece is a testament to medieval artistry and religious devotion. In this scene, we witness the profound moment of Christ's crucifixion and subsequent ascension into heaven. The intricate details of each figure are brought to life through vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes. The central focus lies on Jesus, suspended on a cross with an aura of divine light surrounding him. Surrounding Christ are his disciples, including Saint Peter who stands out prominently among them. A sense of sorrow permeates their expressions as they witness their beloved teacher's sacrifice for humanity's salvation. Above them float angelic beings, symbolizing heavenly intervention during this pivotal event. Notably unique is Saint Peter depicted upside down at the foot of the cross—an artistic choice that signifies his own martyrdom later in life. This unconventional portrayal adds depth to an already emotionally charged composition. The Gothic architecture framing this stained glass window further enhances its ethereal beauty while emphasizing its sacred significance within the cathedral walls. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Paul Maeyaert's lens, they are transported back in time to experience both awe-inspiring craftsmanship and profound spiritual reflection
