EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Death of the Virgin" a remarkable piece of art created by the Netherlandish School in the 15th century. The artwork, made from oak with traces of polychromy, measures 76.5x59x23.5 cm and is housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Originally part of the Marian Altar of the Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Blessed Lady in Den Bosch, this fragment was crafted by Adriaen van Wesel. The scene depicted here is deeply rooted in biblical narratives and portrays the final moments of Virgin Mary's life. The sculpture showcases intricate carving skills and meticulous attention to detail that were characteristic of Dutch craftsmanship during this period. Surrounding Mary's deathbed are apostles and twelve disciples who mourn her passing, creating a poignant atmosphere filled with religious symbolism. "The Death of the Virgin" serves as a testament to Christian faith and devotion during medieval times. It represents an important moment within Christianity as it depicts Mary's last rites before her ascension into heaven. Through its masterful execution and profound subject matter, this panel contributes to our understanding of European religious art from the 15th century. Its significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its ability to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation on matters related to life, death, faith, and spirituality.
