Ascension by Giotto |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| Italian painter Giotto dedicated an early 13th-century fresco cycle in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy, to the life of Jesus Christ. This panel showing the ascension of Jesus is taken from the New Testament account in the Acts of the Apostles. Christ ascends into heaven on a cloud, hidden from the apostles below. Two men in white robes then announce to the apostles that Christ will one day return to Earth. | ||||||
