Description
The smooth-shaven man in the right foreground is probably the youthful John. Mary appears to be reading and interpreting the Scriptures to the apostles who listen in an attitude of reverence. The Holy Spirit, symbolized by a dove with outspread wings, appears above the head of the Virgin and immediately below the canopy of the throne.
Mary
reclines on a bed, propped up against a pillow. Her head is surrounded
by a simple nimbus, and she already holds a scepter in anticipation of
her reception in heaven. The hard square bed would appear to be out in
the open. The apostles are gathered about Mary according to the text of
the Chronicle.
One of them, a rather diminutive figure, is seated on the
floor in the foreground, with book in hand and apparently meditating on
the Scriptures. The youthful figure beside Mary is probably John; next
is Andrew, of the long flowing beard; then Peter, with rounded beard and
bald except for the usual forelock. The woodcut is inscribed, "The
Assumption of Mary, Mother of God."
The
crowning of Mary is in progress. The Lord is seated on his throne, and
Mary kneels beside him, about to receive the crown upon her head. Above
and between them is the symbolic dove, with wings outspread, attesting
the presence of the Holy Spirit. The woodcut is inscribed, "The
Coronation of the Glorious Virgin Mary in Heaven."
Peter, in full pontificals, as Rome’s first pope, is seated in a narrow gothic chamber. He wears the triple crown and holds a crozier in his right hand. On his lap is an open book, and his look is one of meditation. The woodcut is inscribed, "In the year of the World 7223," and "In the Year of Christ, 34."
A opportunity to acquire a 15th-century book illustration by named artists.!
