EDITORS COMMENTS
by Cornelis Bloemaert is a captivating print that transports viewers to the mystical realm of the seventeenth century. This remarkable artwork depicts the awe-inspiring moment when Jesus Christ ascends into heaven, leaving his astonished disciples behind. In this engraving, Bloemaert skillfully captures the essence of amazement and surprise on the faces of both men and women witnessing this miraculous event. The radiant rays of light emanating from Jesus' halo illuminate the scene, creating an ethereal atmosphere that evokes a sense of divine presence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the delicate hand gestures to the carefully engraved mausoleum in the background, each element contributes to conveying a profound religious experience. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from centuries past, we are reminded not only of its artistic significance but also its historical importance. "The Ascension" serves as a testament to Dutch heritage art and its enduring impact on Christian iconography. This print from The Metropolitan Museum of Art allows us to appreciate Federico Barocci's influence on Cornelis Bloemaert's work while offering us a glimpse into an era where faith and spirituality were central themes in society. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and contemplate life's mysteries through artistry that transcends time itself.
