Death of the Virgin 

This pen and wash drawing by Gaspare Diziani, an Italian artist known for his masterful Baroque style, depicts the "Death of the Virgin." The drawing, likely a preparatory study for a larger painting, shows the Virgin Mary surrounded by grieving figures, with an angel ascending to Heaven above. Diziani's loose yet expressive lines capture the emotional intensity of the scene, highlighting the contrast between the earthly grief and the heavenly ascension, a common theme in religious art. The drawing's delicate washes of gray enhance the drama and depth of the composition. The drawing is currently housed at the Städel Museum, showcasing the artist's masterful approach to depicting religious narratives.
