"Life of the Virgin 17. The Death of Mary" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created around 1510 as part of a series depicting the life of the Virgin Mary. This series, known as "Life of the Virgin," consists of 20 woodcuts and is considered one of Dürer's most significant contributions to the medium, showcasing his technical skill and innovative approach to narrative and iconography.

The woodcut "The Death of Mary" captures the moment of the Virgin Mary's passing, surrounded by the apostles and other holy figures. The scene is rich with emotional depth and religious symbolism, reflecting the devotional practices and theological beliefs of the time. Dürer's mastery of woodcut techniques is evident in the intricate details, the balance of light and shadow, and the expressive faces of the figures, which convey a sense of solemnity and reverence.

As part of the larger "Life of the Virgin" series, "The Death of Mary" contributes to the visual storytelling that chronicles Mary's life from her birth to her Assumption and Coronation in Heaven. The series was widely disseminated throughout Europe, influencing the depiction of Marian iconography and solidifying Dürer's reputation as one of the foremost artists of the Northern Renaissance.

Dürer's work on the "Life of the Virgin" series, including "The Death of Mary," reflects his deep engagement with religious themes and his desire to make such images accessible to a broad audience through the medium of woodcut prints. The series was published in book form with Latin text by the Benedictine monk Chelidonius, further emphasizing its intended use for contemplation and devotion. "The Death of Mary" remains a significant work within Dürer's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural impact during the Renaissance period.
