Dormition and glorification of Mary · From the Middle Ages to the Baroque
The Assumption represents Mary raised body and soul in glory, carried by the angels above the tomb and the apostles.
The Assumption of Mary is rooted in an ancient tradition whose stories of the Transitus Mariae date back to the 2nd - 3rd centuries. The festival is celebrated on August 15 and Catholic dogma is defined by Pius XII on November 1, 1950: Mary, at the end of her earthly life, is raised body and soul in celestial glory. Artists often associate an empty or flowery tomb, astonished apostles and an ascent surrounded by angels. Fra Angelico connects Dormition and elevation; Bermejo insists on narrative transition; Carracci and Rubens display baroque movement, light and color. Fra Angelico connects Dormition and elevation; Bermejo insists on narrative transition; Carracci and Rubens display baroque movement, light and color. The "Assumption" selection notably compares Assumption of the Virgin - Peter Paul Rubens and Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin - Fra Angelico. Its reading favors atmosphere.
In the Assumption, the tomb and the sky belong to the same composition: earthly absence becomes glorious presence.
