EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spiritual ascent and enlightenment. The image depicts a set of grand, mystical stairs that lead towards the Celestial City, as illustrated in Raymond Lully's Liber de Ascensu. Created in 1512 by an anonymous Spanish artist from the 16th century, this woodcut engraving showcases a scene filled with superstition and mysticism. The intricate details of the steps draw viewers into a world where philosophy and salvation intertwine. Each step represents a stratum or level on the path to heavenly bliss, symbolizing the hierarchical nature of spiritual growth. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of our own journey towards self-discovery and transcendence. Raymond Lully, a renowned Spanish theologian from the 13th century, was known for his deep philosophical insights. His work inspired countless individuals to seek higher truths through intellectual exploration. Published in the late 19th century as part of A History of Magic, this print has since become an iconic representation of divine ascension. It invites us to reflect on our own personal quests for meaning and understanding. As we delve into this image from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, let us embrace its power to ignite our imagination and inspire us to reach new heights in our pursuit of knowledge and spirituality.
