EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Death of the Virgin Mary" a remarkable piece of art from the 14th century. The painting, found in the collection of The Morgan Library and Museum, is part of a series known as the Morgan panels. It was featured in Antonin Matejcek and Jaroslav Pesina's book, "Gothic Painting in Bohemia 1350-1450". The image depicts a poignant scene where Mary, surrounded by mourners, lies on her deathbed. This gothic masterpiece beautifully captures the emotions and religious significance associated with this event. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail, emphasizing both the solemnity and spiritual nature of this moment. The artist remains unknown but has skillfully portrayed Mary as she passes into eternity while being comforted by those around her. Jesus Christ stands at her side, his presence providing solace during this sorrowful time. This artwork reflects not only religious devotion but also exemplifies medieval artistic techniques prevalent during that era. Its inclusion in Matejcek and Pesina's book further solidifies its importance within Bohemian art history. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when faith played an integral role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power that religious art holds over our collective imagination throughout centuries past.
