Pinturicchio

Assumption of the Virgin by Pinturicchio. There is a festive, almost luminous joy to Pinturicchio’s Assumption of the Virgin that feels unlike any other painting of this subject. Mary stands serenely within a golden mandorla, her hands pressed together in prayer, surrounded by a choir of angels playing lutes and singing her passage into heaven, and below her, a whole community of apostles, saints, and witnesses looks up in wonder against a backdrop of soft Umbrian hills and elegant Renaissance architecture. This is the Assumption not as a moment of sorrow, but as a celebration, and that quality of joyful, ordered beauty makes it a perfect painting for a Christian home. Every time you walk past it, you are reminded that heaven is not a distant abstraction but a radiant reality into which the Mother of God was lovingly received.
