About the piece
Created in 1887 by Dutch artist Nicolaas van der Waay, this dynamic oil study depicts a central figure caught in a moment of spiritual or physical ascension. Part of the 'Last Judgement' theme, the work emphasizes anatomical precision and the play of light across the musculature, reflecting the academic traditions of the late 19th century through a moody and atmospheric lens.
