EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Assumption of the Virgin" painted by Laurent de La Hyre in 1635. The oil on canvas artwork, displayed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Rouen, France, is a stunning representation of the Assomption de la Vierge. The painting depicts Mary, known as Madonna, being lifted into heaven by a group of angels and cherubs. With outstretched wings and delicate expressions, these celestial beings guide her ascent towards the heavens. As she rises above an empty tomb or sepulchre below, symbolizing her resurrection and triumph over death. A sense of divine presence fills the scene as a dove representing the Holy Spirit hovers above Mary's head. This Paraclete signifies spiritual guidance and protection throughout her journey to paradise. Laurent de La Hyre's meticulous brushwork captures every detail with precision and elegance. The rich colors and soft lighting create an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers into this heavenly realm. This print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate this remarkable piece from their own homes while honoring its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of Mary's importance within religious iconography and offers a glimpse into one artist's interpretation of her assumption into heaven.
