Assumption of the Virgin is a c.1555 oil on canvas painting by Tintoretto, now in the church I Gesuiti. [1] [2] It and Presentation at the Temple (Gallerie dell'Accademia) were both originally painted for the church of Santa Maria dei Crociferi. [3] Its colouring is similar to that of Paolo Veronese [1] and Carlo Ridolfi wrote of it that originally Veronese had gained the commission for it before Tintoretto took it from him by promising to produce the work in Veronese's style.

Jacopo Robusti, best known as Tintoretto, was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Venetian school. His contemporaries both admired and criticized the speed with which he painted, and the unprecedented boldness of his brushwork. For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed il Furioso. His work is characterised by his muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective, in the Mannerist style.
The Gallerie dell'Accademia is a museum gallery of pre-19th-century art in Venice, northern Italy. It is housed in the Scuola della Carità on the south bank of the Grand Canal, within the sestiere of Dorsoduro. It was originally the gallery of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, the art academy of Venice, from which it became independent in 1879, and for which the Ponte dell'Accademia and the Accademia boat landing station for the vaporetto water bus are named. The two institutions remained in the same building until 2004, when the art school moved to the Ospedale degli Incurabili.
