EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 16th century showcases a religious masterpiece titled "Assumption of the Virgin". Created by the skilled hands of the Workshop of the Master of Sardoal in Portugal, this artwork depicts a profound moment in Christian history. In the center foreground, we witness a group of mourners kneeling around an empty tomb, their eyes gazing upwards towards heaven. The focal point of this scene is undoubtedly the Virgin Mary herself. As angels gracefully carry her up to heaven, she ascends with divine serenity and grace. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the ethereal beauty and spiritual significance of this event. The Assumption holds great importance within Catholic doctrine as it symbolizes Mary's bodily assumption into heaven at her death. This visual representation serves as a powerful reminder for believers to strive for eternal salvation and seek solace through faith. Through this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous occasion that has captivated generations throughout history. The Workshop of the Master of Sardoal masterfully brings together elements such as light, composition, and emotion to create an awe-inspiring portrayal that continues to resonate with viewers even today
