EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Ascension of Christ" painted by a Russian icon artist in 1497. The artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the State Open-air Museum Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, offering a glimpse into Russia's rich artistic and religious heritage. "The Ascension of Christ" depicts a pivotal moment in Christian belief and faith. As Easter approaches, this painting serves as a poignant reminder of Jesus' triumphant return to heaven after his resurrection. The composition exudes divine glory, with Christ ascending towards the heavens surrounded by an aura of light. This masterpiece holds great significance within Christianity, symbolizing salvation and the fulfillment of biblical prophecies. It is deeply rooted in Orthodox Church traditions and draws inspiration from the New Testament accounts of Jesus' ascension witnessed by his apostles, including Mary Magdalene. The fine art technique employed here is tempera on panel, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship characteristic of Russian icon painting. Each brushstroke conveys devotion and loyalty to capturing this glorious mystery for believers to contemplate during Christian festivals. Notably, three holy women or myrrhbearers are depicted alongside Mary Magdalene at the base of the composition - perhaps representing "the three Marys". Their presence adds depth to this scene as witnesses to Christ's appearance after his resurrection. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the historical significance and spiritual resonance embodied in Russian iconography – an enduring testament to centuries-old Eastern Orthodoxy traditions that continue
