Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin 

This drawing by German Renaissance master Albrecht Dürer depicts the Assumption and Coronation of the Virgin Mary, a popular subject in Christian art. The composition, rendered in precise detail using hatching, shows Mary being lifted to Heaven by angels as God the Father crowns her with a halo. Below, a group of Apostles witness the event, creating a dynamic contrast between the heavenly realm and the earthly. Dürer’s meticulous study of anatomy and perspective is evident in the realistic portrayal of the figures and the architectural elements. This drawing demonstrates Dürer’s mastery of draftsmanship and his deep understanding of religious themes.
