About the piece
Created in 1628 by Wouter Crabeth II, this oil-on-canvas work captures the Assumption of the Virgin with masterful Caravaggesque intensity. The composition contrasts the earthly presence of the awestruck apostles with the radiant, heavenly ascent of the Virgin, rendered in luminous tones against a dark, dramatic background.
