"The Assumption of the Virgin with Saint Thomas receiving the Girdle between Saints Francis of Assisi and Anthony of Padua" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Benvenuto di Giovanni Guasta. Created during the late 15th century, this painting exemplifies the rich religious iconography and stylistic elements characteristic of the period. Benvenuto di Giovanni, active primarily in Siena, was known for his contributions to the Sienese School of painting, which emphasized detailed, decorative elements and vibrant color palettes.

The painting depicts the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a significant event in Christian theology where Mary is taken up into heaven. Central to the composition is the Virgin Mary, ascending amidst a host of angels. Below, Saint Thomas the Apostle is portrayed receiving the Holy Girdle, a symbol of Mary's divine intercession and a relic of great importance in Christian tradition. This moment is a reference to the legend that the Virgin Mary dropped her girdle to Thomas as a tangible proof of her Assumption.

Flanking this central scene are two prominent saints: Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Anthony of Padua. Saint Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order, is depicted in his traditional brown habit, bearing the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. Saint Anthony, a revered Franciscan preacher and teacher, is often shown holding a book and the Christ Child, symbolizing his profound theological knowledge and devotion.

The painting is a testament to Benvenuto di Giovanni's skill in integrating complex theological themes with the artistic conventions of his time. His use of vivid colors, intricate details, and balanced composition reflects the influence of both Gothic and early Renaissance styles. This work not only serves as a devotional image but also as a rich historical document, offering insights into the religious and artistic milieu of 15th-century Siena.
