Yesu anapanda juu katika mlipuko wa mwanga mweupe.
Biblia katika sanaa · Matendo ya Mitume
Kupaa Mbinguni (L'Ascension)
James Tissot · 1886–1894
Brooklyn Museum, New York
Yesu anapaa angani juu ya Mlima wa Mizeituni katika mlipuko wa mwanga mweupe, mikono yake imeinuliwa, joho lake likining'inia chini ya miguu yake. Chini kabisa, Yerusalemu unaenea katika ukungu hafifu.
Juu ya kilima umati mkubwa unatazama: baadhi wanainua mikono yao, wengine wanapiga magoti, wengine wanakinga macho yao dhidi ya mwanga. Tissot alichora umati mkubwa zaidi kuliko wale kumi na mmoja wa maandiko.
Kutoka maandiko
- “wakiwa wanatazama juu, Yeye aliinuliwa juu” (Matendo ya Mitume 1:9)
- “wingu likamfunika wasimwone kwa macho yao” (Matendo ya Mitume 1:9)
Ubunifu wa msanii
- Umati wa watazamaji wengi, si mitume peke yao
- Mandhari ya Yerusalemu kutoka Mlima wa Mizeituni
