Hemelvaart van Maria 1739 - 1780

"Hemelvaart van Maria" is a 1739-1780 engraving by Francesco Bartolozzi, depicting the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven. The circular composition features a central group of angels carrying Mary upwards as she gazes heavenward. Below, figures look up in awe and wonder. Bartolozzi’s mastery of line and detail is evident in the intricate folds of drapery and the delicate rendering of the angel’s wings. This engraving, executed in a refined and elegant style, was likely intended for a private collection or as a devotional piece for personal reflection.
