The Fall and Redemption of Man: The Death of the Virgin

Albrecht Altdorfer

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white image. A group of people in a semi-circular, brick-lined room with a vaulted ceiling. The people are gathered around a central figure on the floor. The central figure is lying on their back with their head tilted back and their mouth open. The people surrounding them are dressed in robes and have their heads bowed or looking down. Some of them have beards. The room has a brick wall and a vaulted ceiling with ribs. The image is highly detailed with many lines. The style is old and appears to be a woodcut.
