The "Assumption of the Virgin" (circa 1365) is a notable work by Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci, a prominent Italian painter and manuscript illuminator of the 14th century. This piece stands as a significant representation of the International Gothic style, characterized by its elegant and detailed depiction of religious themes. Gherarducci, a member of the Camaldolese monastery of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Florence, was renowned for his contributions to the art of illumination, and his works were highly sought after by the religious and secular elite of his time.

The "Assumption of the Virgin" captures the moment of the Virgin Mary's bodily ascent to heaven after her death, a theme common in Christian art and particularly venerated in the Catholic Church. Gherarducci's rendition is distinguished by its intricate detail, vibrant color palette, and the emotional expressiveness of the figures. The composition is carefully structured to guide the viewer's eye upwards, following the Virgin as she is accompanied by a host of angels, emphasizing the celestial nature of the event.

This artwork not only exemplifies Gherarducci's mastery of the International Gothic style but also reflects the religious and cultural milieu of 14th-century Florence. The use of gold leaf and the attention to textual and iconographic detail are indicative of the period's artistic and theological concerns. The "Assumption of the Virgin" by Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci remains an important piece for the study of Gothic art, offering insights into the spiritual and aesthetic values of its time.
