Assumption of the Virgin is an oil on canvas painting by Philippe de Champaigne, from 1638. It depicts the assumption of Mary, now in the Museum of Grenoble. [1] [2]
It was commissioned by Léon Bouthillier, son of Claude Bouthillier, surintendant des finances under Louis XIII, to put in the church of the Carmel de l'Annonciation on rue Saint-Jacques in Paris. It was placed between two other paintings by the same artist, one of Germanus of Auxerre and the other of Saint Vincent. [3]
