The work represents the assumption of the virgin mary body and soul to heaven. A very significant work of cajés' taste for its refined coloring, the shapes of its figures are still mannerist and its technique is free and loose. The luminous break, in which he places the crown of angels who sing chorus to the virgin, evokes his time in italy and the contact he may have had with artists from the classicist environment close to lanfranco. His characteristic plump, chubby-cheeked cherubs and the morbid softness with which he models his figures also appear, always dyeing their faces with a milky whiteness that recalls methods close to correggio, an artist in whom he must have felt special interest, as can be seen from some excellent copy he painted. According to the date that appears, it would be the first known work of his extensive production. Object Type: painting. Genre: religious art. Date: 1603.
