Initial V: The Ascension; Collegium Ducale, about 1420-1430. Additional Info:An initial V marks the Introit for the Ascension, framing an image of Jesus' feet as he ascends into the clouds. This close-up view forces the viewer to see the event as if actually present as a witness. The text continues to the right of the initial: [V]iri Galilei ... (Men of Galilee...).
