EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite pen and brown and black ink on laid paper drawing, titled "The Ascension of the Virgin" by Donato Creti, showcases the Italian Baroque artist's masterful interpretation of a biblical event. The composition is centered around the figure of the Virgin Mary, depicted in regal attire and serene expression, as she is lifted by angels towards the heavens. Surrounding her are a multitude of angels, their wings spread wide in a dynamic display of power and grace. The antique print, created in the late 17th century, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Italy and the enduring influence of Christianity on European culture. The use of pen and ink drawing technique adds a sense of depth and texture to the image, with the brown ink creating a striking contrast against the white background. This artwork, which is now part of the National Gallery of Art's collection in Washington D.C., is a reminder of the profound impact that religious themes have had on art throughout history. The Ascension of the Virgin is a concept deeply rooted in Christian belief, representing the Virgin Mary's assumption into heavenly glory. The drawing, which is also known as "Our Lady of Refuge" or "Stella Maris," is a visual representation of the hope and protection that believers have sought from the Virgin Mary throughout the ages. This work of art continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the artistic and spiritual traditions of the past.
