## Commentary

The focus for the richly robed figures in the lower part of the picture - among them the twelve apostles - is the sarcophagus atop a stepped podium. Its lid has just been removed and an effectively draped winding sheet spills out of it. Only a few of the apostles are gazing upward at what is taking place in heaven.
