The Crucified Christ, 1285-1300, by Giovanni Pisano in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, has to be one of the best depictions in sculpture philosophy of the fragility of human love and the human being equalling God. The ascension of this small altarpiece or fragment of an ivory crucifix takes you to God's love and touches your heart there. The gilded ivory talks about divinity and communicates the delicate purity of Christian love, Christ died for his love of humanity. The celebration of love with this exquisite masterpiece takes you to a place of beauty being celebrated through the divine. The level of human concern of what was touched upon with a similar Giotto crucifix of the same Gothic period takes you through to the sublime, the subliminal of a heart of glass or the most fragile place next to God.

Carlo Naya gave us his panorama of Venice series of photographs. God takes you via the human being along the Grand Canal as if along the flow of life. Philosophy of this ascension tenets similar territory with the use of the machine as a tool for the depiction of your vision of reality. Earlier than this we have J.M.W. Turner and his atmospheric interpretation of Venetian light. The romantic philosophy of Turner was a prevalent pursuit and took you to God along another journey. Even though gondolas are reminiscent of your last ferry ride, we are not being traversed across a Hell ride and the river Styx. The panoramic view of the canal takes you through the history of Venice and its place with the royal family. St. Mark's square is in the background of this photograph and the composition has a prosaic view. Even though we are reminded of former trips to Italy and the maze of alleyways and streets Venice has on offer, my heart is always drawn to the breath of the human being.

Davide del Verrocchio, takes you through God to the human being via a highly trained goldsmith. This masterwork would rate as one of the all time top ten list of highly acclaimed sculptures of the world. The sculpture is situated currently in a room of masterpieces of other highly trained sculptors and goldsmiths. The Bargello in Florence is home to several attributions to God via the human hand. The National Museum is on the highlight tour of the best examples of Florentine sculpture available. The place takes you to Heaven mainly through Settignano, Donatello, Luca della Robbia and Verrocchio, best blessed.

Albrecht Durer touches your heart with the order of St. John in his Apocalypse, 1498-1511, series of woodcuts. God equalling the angels is the message here. There appears to be a battle in the heart between good and evil to take us to a divine contemplation of a vision of the Holy divine angel. The end of world is not something this beatific vision could transcribe more the beginning of the angel where a key to the bottomless pit is where we find the seven divine orders to the human soul. This is a reflection on the pool that denies the self but the heart wars with the battle of divine angels to take you there. Every limit is transpired. The whole vision seems to communicate the seven sacred verses of Christ to speak with the angel, what it takes to be a human being.

Glorifying the soul with Giotto and his Last Judgement at the Arena Chapel (Cappella Scrovegni), c. 1306, in Padua, takes you to the garden of the heart. The blue in the existent chapel takes you there, to the garden where the angels live. The trumpeting angels of the end of time nominate the beginning of the world to come. The infinite love of God. Hell demons seem to be spun off in Hell fire off the side of the sacred serpent Christ rides around in, in Heaven. The Hell victims are being beaten, hung on trees and munched on by a big, blue Satan sitting on some other kind of serpent. It is hard to imagine why the order of St. Anthony that this painting is attributed to appears to represent evil to certain unsaintly bloodlines. The pictorial story on view seems to suggest Heaven and Hell exists on earth and come Glory day where we are judged for our eternal life, the angels come down and pray. Some people have been ascended to the Heaven on High and seem to crowd the Heavens like a Choral Choir in neat rows singing the verse. While other angels surround Christ on his magical chair of the sacred serpent and appear resplendent, the angels of the cross hover over a sacred service below.

Once again with the born angel Antonello, an angel of mercy to Messina where he lay, we have his unfinished Cristo morto sostenuto dagli angeli, c. 1475, Museo Correr, Venezia, of angelic worth. You feel he could not get to finishing this painting while still with us, perhaps he took it to Heaven with him upon his death. Continuing the duty of the angel of mercy, almost the opposite extreme of Dantesque Hell, so no divan redemption for life's punishments simply a divine grace for the Lord. The nomination of three gracing angels to take his soul to Heaven while Christ lay death in the crypt, would be too sweet for anyone. The painting almost looks contemporary, unfinished, as though the three angels and Christ are all of nominated angelic worth to God. Ephemeral with angelic duty as you would imagine most people do not see angels walking amongst them, even though they do. Most artists who nominate Christ in their artwork do feel they have led the life unto him and premise God by the Holy divine angelic order of Christ or Christian philosophy in the first Testament unto him. Upon viewing the painting you feel yourself dissolve unto him and humans would want to hide in the crypt. This beautiful angel takes you unto God. God have mercy on the angel of mercy. Angel wings to the angels.

Albrecht Durer gives us the angel of genius with his Melencolia I (Melancholy), ca. 1514. As if leaving instructions for a divine translation several indications nominate the angelic name Melencolia I. The little putto takes notes as if transcribing angel speak into a message for the human heart. Everything on display in this print appears to take you to divinity and the Holy divine. Almost like the information and Gods divine law have already ascended to the Heaven of the heart. Gods moved house. The hourglass nominates Heaven, the scales, the human weightlessness of an angel or divine thought, the mourning bell over the magic square feels to communicate the hour of this. Divine geometry or the scale of the heart is noted with the polyhedron and the sphere giving us the mathematical premise of God. The divine angel of Melancholy wears sacred cloth and represents with her compass a dark contemplation of the divine angel of love.
