EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 2: the Assumption of the Virgin, created by Giuseppe Maria Mitelli in 1678. The intricate etching showcases Mitelli's exceptional artistic talent and dedication to religious iconography. In this scene, we witness a moment of divine intervention as the Virgin Mary is assumed into heaven. Surrounded by billowing clouds and accompanied by cherubs and angels, she gracefully ascends towards the heavens with outstretched arms. The composition exudes a sense of awe and wonder, emphasizing the miraculous nature of this event. Mitelli's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the delicate gestures of each figure to the ethereal atmosphere created by swirling clouds. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. The print transports us back to 17th century Italy, where religious art held great significance in society. It serves as a testament to both Mitelli's technical prowess as an engraver and his devotion to capturing sacred moments through his work. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece continues to inspire viewers with its beauty and spiritual resonance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of our rich cultural heritage but also of the enduring power that art has in evoking emotions and connecting us with something greater than ourselves.
