The "Assumption of the Virgin" is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. This masterpiece, completed around 1530, adorns the dome of the Cathedral of Parma, Italy, and is considered one of the most significant works of the 16th century due to its innovative use of perspective and dynamic composition. The fresco depicts the moment of the Virgin Mary's Assumption into Heaven, surrounded by a host of angels and saints in a spiraling composition that draws the viewer's gaze upwards.

Correggio's "Assumption of the Virgin" is particularly noted for its daring foreshortening and the illusionistic effect it creates, as if the figures are ascending into an actual three-dimensional space above the viewer. The work is a prime example of di sotto in sù ("from below, upward") ceiling painting, where the artist skillfully manipulates perspective to create the illusion of a heavenly realm breaking into the architectural space of the church.

The detail of the fresco often referred to in art historical discourse showcases the virtuosity of Correggio's technique. The figures are rendered with a softness and a sense of movement that was unprecedented at the time, and their emotional expressions convey the ecstasy and transcendence of the event. The use of light and shadow, as well as the vibrant color palette, further enhances the dramatic effect of the scene.

Correggio's influence on later artists was profound, with his innovative approach to perspective and his mastery of chiaroscuro inspiring generations of Baroque painters. The "Assumption of the Virgin" remains a testament to his genius and a pivotal work in the history of Western art.
