The Dormition of the Virgin — Carlo Saraceni

Carlo Saraceni’s The Dormition of the Virgin, dated 1612, presents the death of Mary with solemn tenderness and dramatic Baroque gravity. Gathered figures attend the Virgin in mourning, creating a deeply devotional atmosphere shaped by grief, reverence, and hope in her heavenly passage. Saraceni’s careful illumination, naturalistic figures, and measured emotional intensity reflect the sacred drama of early seventeenth-century Italian painting. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the work’s Marian focus and contemplative power, offering a distinguished sacred image for spaces dedicated to prayer and reflection. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings the work’s moving spiritual presence into the home.

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.
