Title
English: Gradual from Santa Maria degli Angeli (Folio 142)
Description
The miniature from folio 142 depicts the Death and Assumption of the Virgin. It introduces the liturgy for the feast of the Assumption (August 15). The monumentally rendered narration of the Virgin Mary's death visualizes three crucial moments in a single composition: her entombment, the passing of her soul to Christ, and her assumption to the heavenly realm. A great multitude of apostles and angels - appropriate to the illumination's provenance from a choir book made for the monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli - and Christ have gathered around the Virgins's sarcophagus.
