Death of the Virgin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2008

Death of the Virgin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, January 2008
Death of the Virgin
Marble
French, 2nd half of the 15th century

Accession # 17.190.733

This fragment, possibly part of a sculptural retable recounting events from the life of the Virgin Mary, shows the apostles gathered at her deathbed offering the last blessing. The diagonal composition with attendent apostles was a popular motif in German prints and paintings.

Text from the Metropolitan Museum of Art label.
