Toledo Cathedral

Topmost section of the huge altarpiece (1504) in the Capilla Mayor. A magnificent example of Gothic art, it is overflowing with intricate detail and summarizes the entire New Testament with life-sized figures. Seen here, from left to right: Christ carrying the cross; Lamentation over the dead Christ; the Resurrection; and the Assumption (with Christ's feet disappearing into the clouds).
