The iconography of the Ascension of Christ, is a recurring theme in numerous supports, monumental or not in the late antiquity. This image of the triumph of the God-Man over death was forged during the fourth and fifth centuries, clearly in imitation of the parallel concept of imperial apotheosis.

Prassede, commissioned by Paschal I (817-824) at the beginning of his papacy, houses one of the most important frescoe cycles of early medieval Rome, which, together with the architecture and mosaics of this same basilica, turn it into a privileged monument for the study of the artistic production of the early ninth cent...

The quality and the state of conservation of this monument have awakened the interest of a great number of investigators, turning it into the main example used to explain the artistic production in Rome in the centuries of C...

The artistic itinerary of the monastery has always been imagined as a natural route, given the intuition of some of the great men that directed it, with Oliba in charge. Even so, there is nothing natural neither in the itinerary nor in the way it has arrived to us. Our point of view...
