The Winged Figure’s Ascent
An aged seated man looks upward towards a luminous winged figure whose arms extend across the scene. The figure’s ascending body and spread wings open the dark chamber towards a brighter region above. Knapp illustrates the newly born god’s ascent in Hall’s allegory The Maker of the Gods.
