EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the Assumption of the Virgin, created around 1760 by Jean Baptiste Deshays de Colleville. Measuring 48.9 x 28.89 cm, this oil on paper artwork is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The painting depicts a significant moment in Christian belief - the bodily ascension of the Virgin Mary into heaven at the end of her earthly life. The composition features men kneeling and gazing upwards as clouds envelop them, symbolizing their awe and reverence for this celestial event. Angels grace the scene, with one guiding Mary towards heaven while others surround her with heavenly splendor. Deshays de Colleville's meticulous sketch captures both the ethereal nature of this biblical narrative and his artistic prowess. The delicate strokes bring to life Mary's serene expression as she transcends from earth to heaven, surrounded by cherubs and putti adorning her haloed figure. This work not only celebrates religious devotion but also exemplifies Deshays de Colleville's mastery in capturing divine subjects through his brushstrokes. As viewers engage with this piece, they are invited to contemplate themes such as faith, spirituality, and transcendence. Through its inclusion in Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Bridgeman Images, this print allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Deshays de Colleville's talent and immerse themselves in an iconic moment from Christian iconography.
