Dormition of the Virgin 1432

Fra Angelico's "Dormition of the Virgin" (1432) depicts the death of Mary, the mother of Jesus. The scene is filled with figures, including angels, apostles, and Christ himself, who appears in the upper right corner. The composition emphasizes the central image of the Virgin Mary lying on a bed, surrounded by mourners. The painting, located in the Basilica di San Marco, Florence, is a powerful testament to Angelico's skill as a painter and his devotion to the Catholic faith.
