Hemelvaart van Maria 1502 - 1510

"Hemelvaart van Maria," a woodcut print created by Hans Lützelburger between 1502 and 1510, depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a central theme in Christian art. Mary is shown ascending to Heaven surrounded by angels, while below, a group of figures witness this event. Lützelburger, a prominent artist in the early 16th century, used detailed and intricate linework to capture the solemnity and grandeur of the scene, showcasing the power of religious beliefs and the celebration of Mary's divine ascension. This woodcut print, with its detailed figures and expressive gestures, is an exemplary work of early German Renaissance art.
