True or False?: In terms of religious message, the top and bottom works share a key question that is answered rather differently. For example, the key question for both is why God is divine, and it is answered in the affirmative above, and negatively below, explaining the persecution of the artist below. Related to that question is another key question we discussed in class, the question of how God in heaven came down to earth, via the anagogical axis, or via a ladder (hidden but partially visible behind the craggy rock in the bottom work), perhaps suggesting this was the ladder that was sawed down to create the cross on which Christ was crucified.
