EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Death and Assumption of the Virgin" painted by Fra Giovanni, da Fiesole in approximately 1432. Housed within the esteemed Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston, this artwork is a testament to Italian Renaissance artistry. The painting depicts a pivotal moment from biblical lore as Mary, the Virgin Mother, transitions from earthly life to heavenly glory. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Angelico captures the divine atmosphere surrounding this scene. The composition features angels playing musical instruments while accompanying Mary's ascent to her heavenly throne. Symbolizing hope and completion, this piece draws inspiration from various New Testament references such as Ascension Day and Dormition. The Florentine School's influence is evident through its meticulous attention to detail and emphasis on religious themes.
