From LinkedCulture
A naked woman rises into the sky, held aloft by six winged cherubs, while a robed monk watches from far below. This is Albrecht Dürer's woodcut of Saint Magdalen Carried to Heaven, made between 1501 and 1504, drawing on the medieval legend that angels lifted her bodily to heaven seven times a day. Her hands press together in prayer, a halo crowning her head, as mountains, ships, and open water stretch across the landscape beneath her. Dürer's dense, controlled linework made this visionary scene affordable enough to reach ordinary people across Europe.
