De verheerlijking van Maria 1507 - 1508

"De verheerlijking van Maria" (The Glorification of Mary) is an anonymous wood-engraving from the early 16th century. The work, which is only 122mm by 79mm, depicts a scene of religious devotion, likely the moment of the Annunciation. The composition is crowded with figures, including Mary, who sits in a throne-like structure, and a dove, which represents the Holy Spirit. The print's intricate detail and emphasis on the figures' expressions convey a sense of reverence and awe. It is a testament to the skill of the unknown artist in capturing the nuances of a profound religious event in a small-scale format.
