EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Assumption of the Virgin (Book of Hours)" created between 1450 and 1499 by Jean Fouquet and his workshop. Housed in the prestigious collection of The Morgan Library & Museum in New York, this exquisite piece transports viewers to a medieval world filled with faith, beauty, and hope. In this illuminated manuscript, we witness the culmination of Mary's journey as she ascends to heaven. Surrounded by a heavenly choir of angels and puttos, her serene expression reflects her divine destiny. White lilies symbolize her purity while emphasizing her role as the Mother of God. The intricate details within this artwork bring to life scenes from the New Testament such as Mary's Dormition and Coronation. Through delicate watercolor strokes on parchment, Fouquet captures both the solemnity and grandeur associated with these biblical events. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the profound impact that religious art had during the Middle Ages. It served not only as a visual representation but also played an integral part in liturgical practices. "The Assumption of the Virgin" is a testament to Fouquet's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to create transcendent beauty through illuminated art. This print allows us to appreciate its splendor while paying homage to one of history's most revered figures – Mary, Queen of Angels and Heaven.
