"The Death of the Virgin" (c. 1460-65) is a notable Early Netherlandish painting by Petrus Christus, a leading painter from Bruges who was active after the death of Jan van Eyck. The painting is a poignant representation of the Virgin Mary on her deathbed, surrounded by the Apostles. This work is significant for its devotional impact and its detailed depiction of a domestic interior, which reflects the influence of van Eyck's attention to realism and iconographic innovations.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, use of rich color, and the serene yet emotional expressions of the figures. Christus's work is known for its sophisticated use of perspective and light, which is evident in this piece. The Apostles are depicted in various states of grief, demonstrating Christus's skill in portraying human emotion. The setting includes religious symbols and artifacts that would have been familiar to contemporary viewers, adding layers of meaning to the scene.

"The Death of the Virgin" is considered an important example of Northern Renaissance art, showcasing the blend of Gothic tradition with the emerging Renaissance interest in naturalism and three-dimensional space. The painting's provenance and any historical alterations or restorations contribute to its story and the understanding of Christus's oeuvre. As with many works of its time, the painting also offers insights into the religious and cultural context of the 15th century, particularly the veneration of the Virgin Mary and the role of religious art in personal devotion and public worship.

Held in high esteem by art historians and critics, "The Death of the Virgin" by Petrus Christus remains an essential work for studying the progression of Netherlandish painting and the development of themes and techniques that would influence generations of artists to come. Its current location is in the collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
