EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Cornelis Visscher, we witness a profound moment of spiritual connection. The scene depicts Saint Francis receiving the Christ child from Mary's loving arms, while angels gracefully carry her into the heavenly realm. The composition exudes a sense of serenity and divine grace. Saint Francis, known for his deep devotion to God and all living creatures, is depicted with an expression of awe and reverence as he cradles the infant Jesus in his hands. Mary, radiant and serene, gently passes on her precious son to the saint. As Mary ascends towards heaven on a bed of angelic wings, one cannot help but feel moved by the ethereal beauty surrounding her. The assumption of Mary - assumptio corporis - symbolizes her elevation to a higher plane of existence after completing her earthly journey. Visscher's meticulous attention to detail brings this sacred moment to life. Each delicate line etched onto paper captures the tenderness between mother and child, as well as the celestial energy emanating from their presence. This exquisite print serves as a reminder of our own capacity for love and spirituality. It invites us to contemplate our connection with divinity and encourages us to embrace compassion in our daily lives.
