## Commentary

Assumption of the Virgin c. 1506 Oil on wood, 131,5 x 130,5 cm Vasco Museum, Viseu This painting is a pivotal work in evaluating how the artist interpreted his decisive Flemish influences: the abundant and angular folds of the robes, the way he depicts the ringleted hair of the angels who minister to the Blessed Virgin or the manner in which he painstakingly paints with precise realism and poetic sentiment, the details and miniature forms of the upper background.
