This print showcases the exquisite sculpture titled "Assumption of the Virgin (alabaster)" by the English School, dating back to the 15th century. Measuring 43x26 cm, this remarkable artwork is housed at the Yale Center for British Art and was acquired through the Paul Mellon Fund in the USA. The image captures a pivotal moment in religious history as it depicts an angel supporting and carrying Mary, also known as Madonna, up to heaven. The delicate alabaster sculpture beautifully portrays this divine scene with intricate details that captivate viewers' attention. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported into a world where prayer meets artistry. The angel's gentle embrace conveys both strength and tenderness while fulfilling its sacred duty of guiding Mary towards her heavenly destination. A mandorla surrounds Mary and her celestial companion, symbolizing their spiritual significance within Christian iconography. The presence of additional angels further enhances the ethereal atmosphere surrounding this holy event. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every nuance of this extraordinary sculpture in their photo print, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance from afar. This timeless masterpiece continues to inspire awe and reverence centuries after its creation.
