Mount/Sheet Size: 55.5 x 56 cm (21.5 x 22 Inches)

This coloured devotional print depicting the Ascension of Christ in a dynamic late Renaissance Baroque idiom. Animated by swirling clouds, radiant divine light, and expressive apostolic figures, the composition reflects the influence of European religious engravings popularised through devotional imagery of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

The lower margin bears a Latin inscription from the Vulgate Bible, Acts 1:9, recounting Christ's ascension into heaven.

This work will be shipped unframed.

The print is in good condition with characteristics typical of period commercial lithographic production and subsequent handling. Visible age-related wear includes mild toning, scattered foxing, intermittent creasing, and localized edge wear. Surface retains good visual integrity overall, with colors presenting well.
