The Assumption of the Virgin, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco)
3660853 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 artwork depicts a momentous scene where the uncorrupt Virgin Mary is being lifted upwards by a swirling vortex of angelic beings. Clad in vibrant red and blue robes, she stands at the center of attention as her ascent is accompanied by an ethereal chorus of singing angels. Surrounding this celestial spectacle are various figures that add depth and symbolism to the composition. The perplexed Apostles stand below, reminiscent of their presence around an empty tomb after placing her there. Amongst them are four protector saints of Parma: St. John the Baptist with his lamb, St. Hilary draped in yellow mantle, St. Thomas (or Joseph) accompanied by an angel carrying martyrdom palm leaf, and St. Bernard who gazes upward. Further enriching this masterpiece are other notable figures such as Adam and Eve and Judith holding Holofernes' severed head among the blessed group surrounding Mary's ascension. At the heart of it all lies Jesus himself - beardless and foreshortened - descending from above to meet his mother halfway through her journey towards heavenly bliss. This remarkable fresco captures Correggio's mastery in creating dynamic compositions filled with movement, emotion, and divine beauty; truly deserving its place within one of Italy's most revered cathedrals.
