About the piece
Attributed to the Spanish painter Andrés de Rubira circa 1760, this oil painting captures the dramatic and graceful Assumption of the Virgin. Mary is depicted in a brilliant blue mantle that creates a striking visual focus against a warm, atmospheric sky. She is surrounded by a ring of stars and a host of lively putti, some holding lilies and others supporting her ascent, rendered with the masterful brushwork and soft tonal transitions typical of the late Baroque period.
