This fresco, likely painted between 1517 and 1534, depicts a dramatic scene of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, with apostles and angels in attendance. Correggio's signature style, known for its dynamic composition, intense color, and realistic depiction of human emotion, is evident here. The light emanating from the sky above illuminates the figures below, creating a sense of awe and wonder. This highly expressive work is typical of High Renaissance art in its use of sfumato, which blurs the edges of figures, adding a soft and ethereal quality to the scene.
