EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of the Virgin" a masterpiece created by Tyrolese, an artist active during the early 15th century. The artwork is currently housed in the prestigious National Gallery in London. In this painting, we witness a scene filled with profound emotion and spiritual significance. Mary, the central figure known as the Virgin, lies peacefully on her deathbed surrounded by angels. The composition exudes a sense of hope and tranquility despite its somber subject matter. "The Death of the Virgin" belongs to the Gothic tradition and draws inspiration from biblical narratives found in both the Old and New Testaments. It symbolizes completion, representing not only Mary's physical passing but also her ascent into heaven – an event celebrated on Assumption Day. Tyrolese skillfully employs tempera and oil on wood to create intricate details that enhance our understanding of this sacred moment. Through his brushstrokes, he captures not only Mary's serene expression but also conveys her divine status as Mother of God. This fine art image beautifully illustrates Mary's glorification and culminates in her coronation as Queen of Angels and Heaven. It serves as a visual reminder of faith for those who admire it today while paying homage to Tyrolese's artistic prowess during his active years between 1420-1430.
