"The Assumption of Mary" by Schelte Adams Bolswert is a notable engraving by the Dutch artist, known for his skill in printmaking and his contributions to Baroque art. Bolswert (1586–1659) was an accomplished engraver who worked extensively in the Southern Netherlands and is often remembered for his collaborations with Peter Paul Rubens, whose paintings he translated into prints. "The Assumption of Mary" depicts the moment in Christian tradition when the Virgin Mary is assumed into Heaven at the end of her earthly life.

This engraving is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic composition, which reflects the influence of the Baroque style, emphasizing movement, contrast, and emotional intensity. Bolswert's mastery of the engraving medium is evident in the work's delicate lines and the effective use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume. The artwork serves not only as a religious icon but also as a testament to the technical prowess and artistic sensibilities of the early 17th century.

The piece typically features the Virgin Mary ascending amidst a host of angels, with the apostles often depicted below, witnessing the miraculous event. As a subject, the Assumption of Mary has been a popular theme in Christian art, symbolizing Mary's purity and her special role in the salvation narrative. Bolswert's rendition of this scene would have been used for both devotional purposes and as a demonstration of artistic skill, contributing to the spread of Catholic iconography during the Counter-Reformation.

"The Assumption of Mary" by Bolswert remains an important work for the study of Baroque prints and the dissemination of religious imagery in post-Reformation Europe. It exemplifies the interplay between art and faith and the role of engravings in making complex compositions accessible to a wider audience beyond the owners of the original paintings.
