"The Death of the Virgin" is a notable engraving by the German artist Martin Schongauer, who was one of the most important printmakers and engravers of the Northern Renaissance. Created around 1470-1475, this work is an exquisite example of Schongauer's mastery of the engraving medium and his ability to convey complex emotional and spiritual narratives through intricate line work and composition.

The engraving depicts the moment of the Virgin Mary's passing, surrounded by the apostles and other holy figures. Schongauer's representation of the scene is remarkable for its detail and the emotional intensity of the figures. The apostles are shown in various states of grief and contemplation, their expressions and gestures reflecting the solemnity of the event. The Virgin herself is rendered with a serene countenance, suggesting her acceptance and readiness for the transition to the afterlife.

Martin Schongauer's influence on the graphic arts of his time was profound, and "The Death of the Virgin" is often cited as one of his most significant works. The engraving not only demonstrates Schongauer's technical skill but also his ability to infuse the religious subject matter with a humanistic sensitivity that would resonate with viewers of his time and beyond.

The piece is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of the engraving technique in Europe and for its impact on subsequent generations of artists, including the young Albrecht Dürer, who was greatly influenced by Schongauer's prints. "The Death of the Virgin" remains an important work for scholars studying the Northern Renaissance and the evolution of printmaking as a form of artistic expression.
