About the piece

Created in 1862 by Joseph-Nicolas Robert-Fleury, this painting captures the solemn atmosphere following the passing of the master Titian. The composition expertly balances the stillness of the earthly realm with the vibrant celestial energy of the Assumption of the Virgin depicted in the background, all set against a view of the Venetian canals at dusk.
