# Ascension of Christ [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ROBBIA, Luca della]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Glazed terracotta, 200 x 260 cm ## Commentary The Cantoria earned Luca della Robbia further support and the Cathedral Vestry Board offered him several new commissions.

The relief depicting the Ascension of Christ was realised for the doors of the Old Sacristy \(Sagrestia dei Canonici\) in the Florence Cathedral. ## Related artworks - [Apostle Andrew]() - [Apostle Bartholomew]() - [Apostle James the Great]() - [Apostle James the Less]() - [Apostle John]() - [Apostle Judas Thaddaeus]() - [Apostle Matthew]() - [Apostle Matthias]() - [Apostle Peter]() - [Apostle Philip]() - [Apostle Simon]() - [Apostle Thomas]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
