The Asumption of the Virgin 1682

Luca Giordano's "The Assumption of the Virgin" (1682) depicts the biblical event of the Virgin Mary's ascension to heaven. The central figure of Mary, surrounded by angels, is enveloped in a radiant light as she ascends towards the heavens, illustrating her divine status. The painting's dynamic composition and vibrant colors are characteristic of the Baroque style, which Giordano embraced throughout his career. This work, while lacking specific location and dimension data, showcases Giordano's masterful handling of light and form, contributing to a powerful and emotional portrayal of a key moment in Christian faith.
