About the piece
Painted around 1612 by Carlo Saraceni, this oil on canvas work depicts the Dormition of the Virgin with intense emotional depth. The central figure of Mary, enveloped in a striking blue mantle, is surrounded by apostles whose expressive gestures and vibrant robes contrast beautifully against the dark, architectural shadows of the background.
