The Assumption of the Virgin, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco)
3660854 The Assumption of the Virgin, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco) by Correggio, (Antonio Allegri) (c.1489-1534); Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy; (add.info.: Protector saints of Parma: St. John the Baptist with the lamb, St. Hilary with a yellow mantle, St. Thomas (or Joseph) with an angel carrying the martyrdom palm leaf, and St. Bernard, the sole figure looking upwards.
Below the feet of Jesus, the uncorrupt Virgin in red and blue robes is lofted upward by a vortex of singing or otherwise musical angels. Ringing the base of the dome, between the windows, stand the perplexed Apostles, as if standing around the empty tomb in which they have just placed her. In the group of the blessed can be seen: Adam and Eve, Judith with the head of Holofernes. At the centre of the dome is a foreshortened beardless Jesus descending to meet his mother.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of "The Assumption of the Virgin" fresco by Correggio, located in the Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta in Parma, Italy. The fresco depicts a scene filled with divine beauty and heavenly figures. At the center of attention is the uncorrupt Virgin Mary, dressed in vibrant red and blue robes. She is being lifted upwards by a swirling vortex of angels singing harmoniously or playing musical instruments. Below her feet, we see Jesus descending to meet his mother, portrayed as a youthful figure without a beard. Surrounding this celestial spectacle are several significant figures from biblical narratives and Christian tradition. The perplexed Apostles stand near the base of the dome, reminiscent of their presence at an empty tomb. Amongst them are St. John the Baptist with his lamb, St. Hilary adorned in yellow mantle, St. Thomas (or Joseph) accompanied by an angel carrying martyrdom palm leaf, and St. Bernard gazing upwards. Further enriching this composition are Adam and Eve representing humanity's origins and Judith holding Holofernes' severed head symbolizing triumph over evil forces. Correggio's masterful use of perspective creates a sense of depth within this grandiose dome painting that leaves viewers awestruck by its magnificence. This exceptional print allows art enthusiasts to appreciate every intricate detail captured from Bridgeman Images' collection while immersing themselves in the splendorous world created by Correggio centuries ago at Parma's Cathedral.
