EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Assumption of the Virgin" painting, a masterpiece by Giuseppe Passeri, beautifully reproduced in aquatint. Created between 1729 and 1740, this stunning artwork depicts the moment when the Virgin Mary is assumed into heaven by angels. The use of aquatint imitating a chiaroscuro woodcut adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. Printed in green and brown over etching, it exudes an ethereal quality that perfectly captures the spiritual essence of this religious subject. Nicolas Le Sueur's skillful reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Passeri's original work. The delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to light and shadow are faithfully preserved in this print. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we witness Mary's ascent towards heaven surrounded by a host of celestial beings. The angelic figures gracefully guide her upward as she transcends earthly boundaries. The "Assumption of the Virgin" has long been revered as one of Christianity's most significant events. This timeless depiction serves as a powerful reminder of faith and devotion throughout history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece not only pays homage to Passeri's talent but also highlights Le Sueur's expertise in capturing its essence through photography. It stands as a testament to both artists' contributions to art history and their ability to evoke profound emotions through their respective mediums.
