EDITORS COMMENTS
**The Assumption of the Virgin**
In this exquisite print from the Northern Renaissance period (circa 1470s), German artist Johann Koerbecke masterfully captures a pivotal moment in Christian iconography: The Assumption of the Virgin. As depicted, Mary's lifeless body is lifted up to heaven by angels, surrounded by apostles and saints who gaze upwards in awe. Christ Jesus stands at the center, his arms outstretched as if embracing His mother.
The scene unfolds against a richly colored gold background, with intricate details that evoke a sense of celestial music. The Virgin's face radiates serenity, while her body is enveloped by an ethereal glow. This breathtaking altarpiece not only commemorates the Assumption but also underscores Mary's role as Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.
This artwork has been preserved for centuries, now on display at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain. Koerbecke's skillful brushstrokes bring to life a narrative that resonates with Christian heritage art enthusiasts worldwide. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and artistic expression.
