The Annunciation of the Death of the Virgin — Samuel Van Hoogstraten

Samuel Van Hoogstraten’s The Annunciation of the Death of the Virgin, dated 1670, presents the solemn moment in which an angel announces the Virgin Mary’s approaching death. The sacred encounter unites Marian devotion with a profound meditation on mortality, creating an atmosphere of quiet reverence and spiritual contemplation. Rooted in the Dutch Golden Age and shaped by Baroque sensitivity, the composition reflects Van Hoogstraten’s engagement with religious narrative and restrained emotional drama. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the work’s devotional character and enduring spiritual resonance. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a distinguished sacred image into spaces devoted to prayer, reflection, and the appreciation of historic Christian art.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
