The Assumption of the Virgin by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon is a neoclassical depiction of the biblical event of the Virgin Mary ascending to heaven. The painting features Mary surrounded by angels, bathed in golden light. This work showcases Prud'hon's mastery of light and shadow, creating a sense of both divine power and ethereal beauty. The delicate features and flowing drapery emphasize the grace and elegance of the subject.
