"The Ascension from the Hours of Etienne Chevalier" is a notable illuminated manuscript page created by the French painter Jean Fouquet, who is widely regarded as one of the leading figures in 15th-century French art. This particular folio is part of a book of hours, a devotional book popular in the Middle Ages, which was commissioned by Étienne Chevalier, a prominent French statesman and patron of the arts. The manuscript is celebrated for its exquisite detail, vibrant colors, and the innovative use of perspective and light, which reflect Fouquet's mastery and his exposure to Italian art and early Netherlandish painting.

The Ascension scene is a depiction of the biblical event where Jesus Christ ascends to heaven in the presence of his apostles, forty days after his resurrection. Fouquet's interpretation of this event is remarkable for its emotional depth and the intricate representation of the figures and landscape. The use of gold leaf and rich pigments adds to the luxurious and divine quality of the image, while the composition and the spatial arrangement showcase the transition from medieval art to the more naturalistic approach of the Renaissance.

The Hours of Etienne Chevalier has been disassembled, and its pages are now dispersed across various collections. The Ascension is one of the folios that has been studied extensively for its artistic and historical significance. It not only exemplifies the zenith of Fouquet's artistic career but also provides valuable insight into the religious and cultural milieu of 15th-century France. Jean Fouquet's work on the Hours of Etienne Chevalier, including The Ascension, remains a testament to the transformative period in European art, bridging the Gothic tradition with the burgeoning Renaissance style.
