The "Assumption of the Virgin" (1517-19) is a notable Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Francesco Granacci, a contemporary and friend of Michelangelo. This work depicts the Virgin Mary's ascent to heaven, a common theme in Christian art that celebrates the bodily taking up of Mary into celestial glory. Granacci's interpretation of this subject is a testament to the artistic innovations of the High Renaissance, showcasing his ability to blend narrative with the aesthetic principles of harmony, balance, and beauty.

Measuring 177 cm by 73 cm, the painting is executed in tempera on wood. It was originally created for the church of San Frediano in Cestello, Florence, which underscores its religious significance and the role of commissioned church art in Granacci's career. The artwork is characterized by its vertical orientation, which emphasizes the upward movement of the Virgin, surrounded by a host of angels and putti. Mary is typically depicted at the center of the composition, her figure gracefully rising as she is welcomed by a divine light, symbolizing her holy destination.

Granacci's style in this painting reflects the influence of his Florentine contemporaries, with a clear nod to the works of Michelangelo and Domenico Ghirlandaio, under whom he apprenticed. The "Assumption of the Virgin" demonstrates Granacci's skill in rendering figures with a sense of volume and his adept use of color to create a rich, yet delicate, visual tapestry. The detailed drapery of Mary's robes, the dynamic poses of the angels, and the serene expression on the Virgin's face all contribute to the painting's spiritual and emotional impact.

Today, the "Assumption of the Virgin" is housed in the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be admired for its artistic merit and as an example of Granacci's contribution to the religious iconography of the period. The painting not only serves as a devotional image but also offers insight into the cultural and artistic milieu of early 16th-century Florence.
