Entre las imagenes de La Asuncion de Maria en el arte italiano de la Baja Edad Media se observa con frecuencia el detalle del sepulcro de la Virgen germinado con abundantes flores. Ese sorprendente elemento iconografico ha permanecido en el olvido, tal vez por haber sido considerado un simple rasgo anecdotico o decorativo desprovisto de significacion. Fundandose en abundantes exegesis patristicas y teologicas, asi como en algunas referencias a textos apocrifos, el presente ensayo pone en luz los multiples y profundos significados doctrinales que encierra ese enigmatico pormenor iconografico del florecimiento del sarcofago de la Madre del Hijo de Dios. [ABSTRACT]Among the images of The Assumption of Mary in Italian art of the Late Middle Ages one often sees the detail of the tomb of the Virgin germinated with plenty of flowers. That surprising iconographic element has remained in oblivion, perhaps because it was considered a simple anecdote or a decorative feature devoid of meaning. Relying on abundant exegesis from Patristics and theology, as well as on some references to apocryphal texts, this essay highlights the many and profound doctrinal meanings enclosed under this enigmatic iconographic detail of flowering from the sarcophagus of the Son of God’s Mother.
