A copperplate engraving depicts the Ascension of Jesus. Christ appears in the upper center. He rises into a bank of radiant clouds with his arms spread wide. Below him, a group of approximately twelve disciples and followers gather on a hillside. They kneel or stand in various poses of adoration, prayer, and astonishment as they look upward. A simple double-line rectangular border frames the entire scene.
This text is a translation of Matthew 28:20. In the original German, it reads: "Sieh! Ich bin bey Euch alle Tage bis ans Ende der Welt." This verse serves as a foundational promise of divine presence in Christian theology.
