Andrea Mantegna's "Death of the Virgin", painted around 1461, presents a scene of quiet sorrow. The work, executed in oil on wood, exemplifies the Early Renaissance style through its use of perspective and detailed realism. Mantegna (1431-1506) was an Italian painter, a student of Roman archeology, and son-in-law of Jacopo Bellini. He is known for his frescoes and his mastery of perspective. The painting depicts the Virgin Mary lying on her deathbed, surrounded by the Apostles. The composition is carefully arranged, with the figures grouped around the bed in a manner that directs the viewer's eye towards the central subject. The architectural setting, with its classical columns and arches, provides a backdrop that enhances the sense of depth and space. A distant view of a city and waterway is visible through the window, adding another layer to the composition. The colour palette is restrained, with muted tones of red, blue, green, and brown dominating the scene. The figures' expressions convey a sense of grief and contemplation, reflecting the solemnity of the event.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
