EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Death of the Virgin" a remarkable masterpiece created around 1335 by the enigmatic artist Maso di Banco. Housed in the esteemed Musee Conde in Chantilly, France, this Gothic painting evokes a sense of profound spirituality and hope. In this scene, we witness the completion of Mary's earthly journey as she peacefully passes away surrounded by angels. The composition is meticulously crafted, with delicate brushstrokes and vibrant tempera colors on panel. The attention to detail is astonishing, capturing every nuance of emotion and expression. "The Death of the Virgin" holds great significance within Christian iconography. It depicts an important event from the New Testament known as Dormition or Assumption – when Mary's soul ascends to heaven to be reunited with her son Jesus Christ. This momentous occasion culminates in her glorification and coronation as Queen of Angels and Queen of Heaven. Maso di Banco's artistic prowess shines through his portrayal of heavenly figures playing musical instruments nearby. Their ethereal melodies seem to transcend time itself, adding an otherworldly dimension to this poignant scene. As we gaze upon this fine art image, we are reminded not only of its historical importance but also its timeless beauty that continues to captivate viewers today. Through his masterful technique and deep understanding of religious symbolism, Maso di Banco has immortalized the Blessed Virgin Mary on her heavenly throne for generations to come.
