About the piece
Created around 1630, this painting by Nicolas Poussin exemplifies the French Baroque master's command of classical composition and luminous color. The scene captures the Virgin Mary’s assumption into heaven, her blue robe creating a striking focal point against a sky filled with golden clouds and tumbling putti. Set between monumental fluted columns, the work balances divine drama with an architectural groundedness typical of Poussin's mature style.
