Housed in the esteemed Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, this painting is a testament to the artist's skill and the beauty of early Netherlandish art. In this scene, we witness the culmination of Mary's journey as she ascends to her heavenly throne. Surrounded by angels and bathed in divine light, she exudes an aura of grace and serenity. The intricate details of her flowing robes and delicate facial features are brought to life through oil on wood technique. Music fills the air as celestial beings play various musical instruments, adding harmony to this momentous occasion. This composition evokes hope and reverence for Mary, known as both the Mother of God and Queen of Angels. "The Glorification of the Virgin" draws inspiration from biblical narratives such as Mary's Assumption into heaven after her death. It also alludes to her Coronation as Queen of Heaven, emphasizing her central role in Christian theology. Geertgen tot Sint Jans' meticulous brushwork captures not only religious devotion but also highlights his mastery over light and shadow.
