EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Dormition" painting, which is a part of the left wing of the Buxtehude Altar. Created between 1400-10 by Master Bertram of Minden, this masterpiece measures 110.5x94.5 cm and can be found at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. In this scene, we witness Christ carrying the spirit of the Virgin Mary as she peacefully passes away. The artist skillfully captures the moment with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant tempera colors on panel. The composition is further enhanced by intricate details such as a mandorla surrounding Christ and apostles gathered around in mourning. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a realm where angels hover above, blessing and guiding Mary's soul towards heaven. Choirs of heavenly beings fill the air with their celestial melodies while conveying a sense of both sorrow and serenity. "The Dormition" invites us to reflect on themes of life, death, faith, and transcendence. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our final moments, there is beauty to be found in surrendering one's spirit to something greater than ourselves. This remarkable piece from Master Bertram of Minden continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Its timeless depiction evokes emotions within us all – reminding us that art has an enduring power to touch our souls across time and space.
