This painting shows a glowing figure floating above three people on a rocky ground. The figure wears a long white robe and has light shining around it, while the people below look up with surprised faces. The sky is soft and cloudy, with a warm glow around the floating figure. Notice how the artist used light and shadow to make the figure stand out sharply against the darker background. Check out the chiaroscuro technique next.
