EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Francesco Botticini's masterpiece, "The Assumption of the Virgin" painted in 1475-1476. The painting depicts a profound religious scene with intricate details and symbolism. In the foreground, we see a group of Apostles gathered around the tomb of the Virgin Mary, adorned with beautiful Madonna lilies. Above them, Christ is depicted enthroned amidst three circles of angels, welcoming Mary into the highest circle of Heaven. Notably, two figures kneel on the ground before this divine spectacle: Matteo Palmieri and his wife Niccolosa. Matteo was a Florentine civil servant who commissioned this altarpiece for their chapel in San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Their presence adds a personal touch to an otherwise celestial composition. Now housed at the National Gallery in London, this artwork exemplifies Botticini's mastery as an Italian Renaissance painter. The landscape surrounding the heavenly scene transports viewers to the idyllic countryside of Italy during that era. "The Assumption of the Virgin" is not just an artistic achievement but also conveys deep spiritual significance rooted in Christian beliefs and biblical narratives from both Old and New Testaments. It serves as a powerful reminder of faith and devotion while showcasing Botticini's exceptional talent for capturing emotion through art media such as tempera paint. This print allows us to appreciate Botticini's genius while immersing ourselves in this miraculous moment where heaven meets earth through vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail.
