This painting is a contemporary take on Rembrandt’s painting of the same name. The main changes include the elimination of the cupids and the inclusion of a textual description of Christ’s ascension from Luke 24:50-53.
I often incorporate the words of scripture into my paintings. According to Genesis 1:1-13 and John 1:1, the world, including space and time, was spoken into existence. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, God’s spoken words created the reality we live in; there is nothing more powerful or real.
