Jacopo Sansovino's "Assumption of the Virgin," a 16th-century bronze relief, depicts the Virgin Mary ascending to Heaven, surrounded by cherubs. The dynamic composition, with Mary's flowing robes and the swirling movement of the angels, conveys the energy and wonder of this pivotal moment in Christian faith. This small but intricately detailed work, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Sansovino's skill in capturing both the spiritual and physical aspects of this iconic scene.
