"The Death of the Virgin" is a painting by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, an Italian Baroque master known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic approach to the human state, both physical and emotional. Created in 1606 for the Santa Maria della Scala church in Rome, the painting measures 369 cm × 245 cm (145 in × 96 in) and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

Caravaggio's depiction of the Virgin Mary's death is notable for its stark departure from the traditional representations of the time. The artist chose to portray the Virgin in a realistic manner, emphasizing her humanity rather than her divinity. The scene is set in a dimly lit, ordinary room, and the figures surrounding Mary are depicted with raw emotions of grief and despair. The Virgin herself is shown as an ordinary woman who has passed away, devoid of the usual symbols of sainthood, which was a controversial choice that led to the initial rejection of the painting by the Carmelites of Santa Maria della Scala.

The work is considered one of Caravaggio's most important and is praised for its emotional power and its innovative approach to a traditional religious subject. The use of light and shadow not only highlights the drama of the moment but also gives the scene a profound sense of volume and space. The painting's influence can be seen in the works of later artists, particularly in the Baroque period, where Caravaggio's style continued to inspire a more realistic and emotionally engaging approach to religious and historical scenes.

"The Death of the Virgin" has been the subject of extensive art historical research and analysis, with scholars examining its composition, iconography, and historical context. Its critical reception over the centuries has reflected changing attitudes towards religious art and the evolving understanding of Caravaggio's contributions to the development of Western art.
