Assumption of the Virgin (Tintoretto)

Assumption of the Virgin (c. 1555) by Tintoretto

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. ^[3]
