Ein Khindt was gestorben ... is a 1503 ink by Master of the Miracles of Mariazell, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut depicts a woman standing beside a bed, where a child lies. The woman, dressed in a long robe and head covering, holds a baby in her arms and looks up at a vision of the Virgin Mary and Jesus above. In the background, a landscape unfolds with trees, buildings, and a church steeple. The scene is rendered in detailed lines, with the woman's robes and the bed's linens intricately depicted. The vision of Mary and Jesus is set against a cloudy sky, with rays of light emanating from them. The level of detail and the use of light and shadow in this woodcut are characteristic of the Renaissance style. For more works in this style, explore the Renaissance movement.
