EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a moment of divine transcendence - the Assumption of Mary. With her arms gracefully spread, she is carried away by a celestial entourage of angels. The scene unfolds above an open grave, surrounded by solemn apostles who witness this miraculous event. Willem van Haecht (II), the artist behind this exquisite etching on paper, skillfully portrays Mary's ascent into heaven. The ethereal beings hover in the air, their wings gently fluttering as they bear her towards eternity. Each angel radiates serenity and devotion, emphasizing the sacredness of this occasion. The composition evokes a sense of awe and wonderment as we witness Mary's physical departure from Earth to join heavenly realms. Her serene expression reflects acceptance and surrender to God's will, while the apostles below stand in reverential contemplation. This artwork invites us to reflect upon themes of faith, spirituality, and eternal life. It serves as a visual reminder that even in our mortal existence, there is hope for transcendence beyond earthly boundaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured between 1603-1637 in Antwerp by Willem van Haecht (II), let us be inspired by Mary's assumption into heaven – a testament to divine grace and love that transcends time and space.
