Elias Moskos was a prominent Greek painter of the 17th century, known for his contributions to the Heptanese School of painting. His work, "The Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin," is a notable example of post-Byzantine art, reflecting the religious and cultural influences of the time. This painting illustrates the dual events of the Dormition, or the "falling asleep," and the Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven, a theme celebrated in both Eastern Orthodox and Western Christian traditions.

The composition typically depicts the Virgin Mary on her deathbed, surrounded by the apostles and angels, capturing the moment of her peaceful passing. Above, the Assumption is portrayed, with Mary being taken up into heaven, often accompanied by angels. Moskos's interpretation of this scene is characterized by its vibrant colors, intricate details, and a harmonious blend of Byzantine iconography with Western artistic elements, a hallmark of the Heptanese School.

Moskos's work is significant for its synthesis of traditional Byzantine styles with the emerging influences of the Italian Renaissance, which were spreading through the Ionian Islands during his lifetime. This fusion is evident in the use of perspective, the naturalistic rendering of figures, and the emotional expressiveness of the characters depicted.

"The Dormition and Assumption of the Virgin" by Elias Moskos is housed in various collections, reflecting its importance in the study of post-Byzantine art. It serves as a testament to the cultural exchanges between the East and West and the enduring legacy of religious art in the Greek Orthodox tradition. The painting not only highlights Moskos's skill as an artist but also provides insight into the theological and artistic dialogues of the 17th century.
