Dormition of the Virgin 1450

Jacopo Bellini's "Dormition of the Virgin" (c. 1450) is a monumental drawing that showcases the artist's masterful understanding of perspective and architectural detail. The drawing depicts the solemn procession of figures attending the death of the Virgin Mary, with the central scene framed by a series of grand arches and a soaring, multi-level structure. This intricate design is rendered in a highly detailed and precise style, characteristic of Bellini's work. Located in the Louvre Museum in Paris, this drawing stands as a testament to the Renaissance era's fascination with linear perspective and its application in religious subjects.
