The Death of the Virgin
Rembrandt van Rijn (mentioned on object), 1639
At Mary’s request, the apostles, who were preaching the Gospel all over the world, were transported to her deathbed. Rembrandt presents the two events simultaneously in this monumental etching. Unlike the loosely sketched angel in the clouds, the lower part of the composition is worked out very precisely.
