Study for the Assumption of the Madonna 1876

This black and white ink study by Noè Bordignon, titled "Study for the Assumption of the Madonna", depicts a scene of ascension and a group of figures in a dynamic composition. The artist, active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, employed loose strokes and shading to create a sense of movement and spirituality. The drawing is a preparatory sketch for a larger work, revealing Bordignon's artistic process and the evolution of his ideas. This artwork provides insight into the creative process of a 19th-century Italian artist, and exemplifies the enduring themes of faith and the divine in art.
