The painting shows a scene of the Virgin Mary's death, surrounded by people. This work is interesting because it was created during the Renaissance, a time of great change in art. The details in the scene, like the people and the room, are carefully drawn. You can learn more about this style by looking at the work of artist: Wechtlin I, Hans.
