EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Assumption of the Virgin" by renowned artist Pieter Paul Rubens. The artwork, found in the esteemed collection of Liechtenstein Museum, is a masterpiece that beautifully captures various themes and symbols from biblical narratives. Rubens' depiction portrays the moment when the Virgin Mary ascends to heaven, surrounded by a celestial choir of angels. The composition exudes an atmosphere of music and hope as heavenly melodies fill the air. Mary, known as Madonna or Blessed Virgin Mary, is shown on her heavenly throne, adorned with regal splendor as she becomes Queen of Angels and Queen of Heaven. Through his masterful use of oil on canvas technique, Rubens brings life to this significant event from the New Testament. The painting represents completion and culminates in the glorification of the Virgin's journey towards eternal bliss. "The Assumption of the Virgin" holds great significance within religious liturgy and devotion to Mary. It symbolizes her death (dormition) followed by her assumption into heaven—a belief deeply rooted in Catholic tradition. As we admire this fine art image captured through photography, we are transported into a world where spirituality meets artistic brilliance. Rubens' portrayal invites us to contemplate faith and marvel at his ability to depict divine beauty with such skillful brushstrokes.
