The Death of the Virgin — Bartholomaus Zeitblom

Bartholomaus Zeitblom’s The Death of the Virgin, dated c. 1497–1503, portrays the solemn passing of Mary with the reverence and contemplative restraint characteristic of sacred art in the Northern Renaissance. The gathered figures and measured composition create an atmosphere of prayerful mourning, inviting reflection on the Virgin’s death and heavenly destiny. Zeitblom’s careful treatment of form, gesture, and devotional expression lends the scene both spiritual gravity and quiet tenderness. This museum-inspired reproduction honours the work’s meditative character and enduring place within Christian visual tradition. Printed as a premium matte fine-art print on 200 gsm paper, it brings a distinguished Marian image into spaces devoted to faith, remembrance, and sacred beauty.
