This etching, "The Assumption of the Virgin," depicts the Virgin Mary ascending into Heaven, surrounded by cherubs. Created by Fra Antonio Lorenzini between 1685 and 1720, the artwork showcases the artist's mastery of detail and the use of light and shadow, particularly in the Virgin's robes and the celestial clouds. It is a powerful portrayal of a pivotal moment in Christian belief and is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Virgin Mary. The etching is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
