# Assumption of the Virgin [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TINTORETTO, Jacopo]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 244 x 137 cm ## Commentary Assumption of the Virgin c. 1550 Oil on canvas, 244 x 137 cm Gallerie dell'Accademia, Venice The painting once hung in the Venetian church of San Stin, or St Stephen Priest, a structure that was torn down shortly after its secularisation in 1810. Within the brilliantly calculated composition - a vortex of rotary movement - we can distinguish among the Apostles at least three portraits, no doubts representing the picture's commissioners. ## Related artworks - [A Philosopher \(detail\)]() - [A Philosopher]() - [Allegory of Faith]() - [Allegory of Fortune \(Felicità\)]() - [Allegory of Generosity]() - [Allegory of Goodness]() - [Allegory of Happiness]() - [Allegory of the Scuola della Carità]() - [Allegory of the Scuola della Misericordia]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Marco]() - [Allegory of the Scuola di San Teodoro]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
