Hemelvaart van Maria 17th century

This small, 17th century, anonymous woodcut depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a popular subject in Christian art. The composition, despite its tiny size, conveys the event with clarity. Mary is shown ascending to heaven, surrounded by angels, her body enveloped in light. The graphic style, typical of woodcuts, creates a sense of movement and celestial wonder. The scene likely served as a devotional image, reminding viewers of the Virgin Mary's ascension and her role as a mediator between God and humanity.
