## Commentary

This painting is a reduced version of the great altarpiece of the Assumption of the Virgin painted by Giaquinto in 1739 for the high altar of the Church of the Assumption in Rocca di Papa, southeast of Rome. Rather than a preliminary work or presentation piece, it was more likely a replica made by the artist after the completion of the altarpiece.
