EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 3: The Assumption of the Virgin, created by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli in 1678, is a captivating black and white etching that showcases the artist's exceptional skill and devotion to religious iconography. This masterpiece is part of the Bononiensium Pictorum Celebrioris Gloria Quaedam Sacrae Icones Delineatae Incisae et Tantae Artis Amatoribus Dicatae A Josepho M. a Mitello Pictore Bononiense MDCLXXVIII collection. In this scene, we witness the miraculous moment when the Virgin Mary ascends into heaven. Surrounded by angelic cherubs and bathed in divine light, she gracefully floats above a mausoleum adorned with flowers and plants. Her hand gestures convey both awe-inspiring power and gentle serenity as she embraces her heavenly destiny. Mitelli's attention to detail is evident in every element of this print. From the delicate expressions on each cherub's face to the intricate rays of light emanating from above, he captures an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into a realm where magic meets spirituality. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between nature and divinity, emphasizing humanity's connection to something greater than ourselves. Through his masterful technique, Mitelli invites us to contemplate themes of life, death, faith, and transcendence. This remarkable artwork now resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection. Plate 3: The Assumption of the Virgin stands as a testament to Giuseppe Maria Mitelli's artistic prowess and enduring legacy within Italian religious art during the 17th century.
