The Fall and Redemption of Man: The Transfiguration

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of a religious scene with lines radiating from the center. The central figure is a man with long hair and a beard wearing a robe. He stands on a hill with his left leg bent; his right leg appears to be hovering above the ground. He holds an object in each hand. Behind him are lines representing rays of light and two figures. The bottom half of the image shows four men on the ground looking up; two on the right and two on the left. The two on the right appear to be wearing hats. The two on the left are bearded and have their hands close to their chests. The background shows dense short lines, both vertically and horizontally.
