The Death of the Virgin (c. 1460) by Petrus Christus – Hand-Painted Oil Painting Reproduction | Dafen Village Canvas Art

Painted around 1460 by Early Netherlandish master Petrus Christus—the primary successor to Jan van Eyck in Bruges—The Death of the Virgin is one of his largest and most ambitious masterworks, preserved in the Timken Museum of Art in San Diego, California.

The composition depicts the Dormition or Passing of the Virgin Mary, who lies serenely in a canopy bed surrounded by the sorrowful Twelve Apostles performing last rites. Above the domestic bedchamber, the heavens open to reveal God the Father and angels receiving Mary’s soul. Petrus Christus showcases his mastery of early spatial perspective, luminous interior light, meticulously rendered textiles, and quiet emotional solemnity.
