Heavenward

All Professionally Made to Order for Quick Shipping

Contemplate the celestial ascent of a fallen soul, as an angel tenderly cradles a corpse, gazing upward towards the heavens. The reverse of a medieval medallion unveils Alexander the Great and Nike, Goddess of Victory, symbolizing earthly triumphs surpassed. Saint Ambrose, in a 18th-century oil painting, prays fervently, his eyes fixed on the divine realm. A golden medallion from ancient Greece depicting Alexander, a beacon of human greatness, also gazes skyward. A page from the Humours of Cynicus, with its vibrant engraving, adds a touch of earthly whimsy. A 16th-century manuscript illumination of the David Prayer Initial M echoes the theme of supplication. Atop St. James Church Tower in Chipping Campden, the Cotswolds, a bust-length portrait of an ecclesiastic also gazes upwards, as if in communion with the divine. Together, these images invite us to ponder the human quest for transcendence, the eternal yearning for the heavens.
