About the piece
Painted in 1612 by Pieter Lastman, a significant influence on the young Rembrandt, this work captures the theatrical intensity of the Dutch Baroque style. The composition uses striking chiaroscuro to contrast the radiant, heavenly light of the ascending Christ with the deep, earthly shadows of the startled and sleeping guards below.
