Before so many people could read and books become abundant, people learned through art. Thomas Merton credits the art of European cathedrals for his conversion.

One if my favorites is James Tissot.

Sorry I cant seem to imbed the picture. Here we have The Ascension. No body if Christ though. Only light and two angels.
