EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures "The Dormition of the Virgin" a 15th-century masterpiece by an unknown Russian icon artist. Housed in the prestigious State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, this painting is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Russia. In this scene, we witness the momentous event of Mary's death and ascension into heaven, known as the Dormition. Surrounded by angels and holding a musical instrument, Mary exudes grace and serenity. The composition is filled with symbolism from biblical references to liturgical traditions of the Orthodox Church. The fine art image showcases intricate details achieved through tempera on panel technique. Every brushstroke brings out vibrant colors and delicate textures that enhance our appreciation for this iconic work. "The Dormition of the Virgin" culminates centuries of devotion to Mary, portraying her as both human mother and heavenly queen. As she takes her place on the heavenly throne, she becomes Assunta - Mother of God - assuming her rightful position as Queen of Angels and Queen of Heaven. This print allows us to bring home a piece of Russian history and spirituality while celebrating one of its most revered icons. Whether displayed in homes or institutions, it serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with faith throughout history.
