DESCRIPTIVE INFORMATION

This scene presents a curious detail because, according to Catholic tradition, Christ's Ascension occurred without any external aid, unlike all other miraculous ascensions to heaven, in which angels, in varying numbers, lift the sacred figure and carry him aloft. Here, at least two angels appear to be assisting Christ in his Ascension.
