"The Death of the Virgin (detail 2)" is a significant fragment of a larger altarpiece created around 1480 by the renowned Early Netherlandish painter Hugo van der Goes. Van der Goes, active during the latter half of the 15th century, is celebrated for his masterful use of color, intricate detail, and emotional depth, which are all evident in this particular work. The painting is part of a larger composition that depicts the Virgin Mary's death, a common theme in Christian art that symbolizes her transition from earthly life to heavenly glory.

This detail showcases van der Goes' exceptional ability to convey human emotion and divine presence through his meticulous attention to facial expressions and body language. The figures surrounding the Virgin are rendered with a profound sense of realism and individuality, reflecting the artist's deep understanding of human anatomy and his skill in capturing the subtleties of human interaction. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures, creating a lifelike and immersive scene.

Van der Goes' work is also notable for its rich iconography and symbolic elements, which would have been easily recognizable to contemporary viewers. The somber yet serene atmosphere of "The Death of the Virgin" invites contemplation and reverence, drawing the viewer into the sacred narrative. This painting, like many of van der Goes' works, exemplifies the transition from the medieval to the Renaissance style, blending traditional religious themes with a more naturalistic approach to composition and detail.

"The Death of the Virgin (detail 2)" remains an important example of Hugo van der Goes' contribution to the Northern Renaissance and his enduring influence on the development of European art. The fragment, while only a part of the original altarpiece, continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
