About the piece
Painted in 1874 by Paul Philippoteaux, this oil sketch was a preliminary study for the church of Saint-Pierre-Saint-Paul in Montreuil-sous-Bois. The work masterfully employs light to emphasize the divine ascent of Christ, contrasting his radiant form against the dark, earthy tones of the tomb and the startled Roman soldiers.
