EDITORS COMMENTS

This engraving depicts a poignant scene from Christian history, capturing the moment when Mary, the mother of God, breathes her last breath surrounded by mourners. Galle's meticulous attention to detail brings this somber event to life. The composition showcases his mastery as an artist with intricate lines and shading that convey depth and emotion. The figures are depicted in traditional Flemish attire, adding authenticity to the scene. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the disciples gathered around Mary's deathbed. Their grief-stricken faces reflect their deep sorrow at losing their beloved mentor and friend. Each mourner is uniquely portrayed with expressions ranging from disbelief to profound sadness. The print serves as a testament to Galle's skill as an engraver and his ability to capture complex emotions through art.
