About the piece
Created in 1872 by Robert Wilhelm Ekman, this oil sketch for the Lemland altarpiece captures the Ascension of Christ with masterful light and movement. The composition contrasts the shadowed, earthly figures of the apostles with the radiant, golden glow of the heavens as Christ rises amidst a chorus of subtle cherubic faces. The loose, painterly brushwork adds a sense of immediacy and divine energy to this classic religious scene.
