Oil painting on canvas, The Assumption of the Virgin by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo (Venice 1696 ? Madrid 1770). In the centre is the Virgin Mary, supported by putti and angels on clouds. The Apostles are grasping on the perimeter on either side of her sarcophagus. This composition, a study for a ceiling, is close to a modello preserved in the Cathedral at San Daniele del Friuli of around 1735, for the ceiling in the Church of the Fratta at Friuli, which was never executed.
