EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite painting, titled "The Dormition of the Virgin," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Greek artist Dominico Theotokopoulos, better known as El Greco, before the year 1567. It is currently housed in the Dormition of the Virgin Church on the Greek island of Syros. The painting depicts the moment of the Virgin Mary's Dormition, or falling asleep, which is celebrated in the Orthodox Church as the prelude to the Assumption of the Theotokos, or Mother of God, into heaven. The scene is filled with hope and anticipation as the Virgin Mary lies on her bed, surrounded by angels and apostles. El Greco's masterful use of color and composition creates a sense of otherworldly beauty and serenity. The Virgin Mary is depicted as the Queen of Angels and the Queen of Heaven, with her hands raised in a gesture of blessing. Above her, angels play musical instruments, adding a celestial and joyful atmosphere to the scene. The painting is a testament to El Greco's exceptional skill as an icon painter, which was influenced by his training in the School of Crete. The use of tempera on panel and the fine details of the figures and their clothing demonstrate the artist's dedication to capturing the essence of the biblical story. The Dormition of the Virgin is a significant work in the New Testament, as it marks the completion of Mary's earthly life and the culmination of her glorification. The painting is a reminder of the hope and faith that the Orthodox Church holds in the assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven, and it continues to be a source of inspiration and devotion for believers today.
