Reliquary Tabernacle 1430

Fra Angelico's *Reliquary Tabernacle* (1430) depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a popular subject in Renaissance art. The composition, with its vibrant colors and gold leaf, captures the moment Mary ascends to heaven surrounded by angels. Below, the apostles gather around her empty tomb, showcasing Angelico's masterful storytelling. This work, now housed in the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, exemplifies Early Renaissance art's focus on religious devotion and elegant aesthetics.
